ASTE 280 Foundations of Astronautical Engineering Spring 2015
This course is a broad introduction to fundamental topics in astronautics. It has four major topics: Mathematics of coordinate systems and transformations; spacecraft orbits and orbital maneuvers; rocket engines and vehicles; rigid body rotation and spacecraft attitude dynamics. A brief introduction to the space environment is given at the end;. At the same time, ASTE students will have more material on this in later courses, this is the only space course required for AE and many AE students will not see space environment in any other course. This course is required for the B.S. degrees in Aerospace Engineering and Astronautical Engineering and is typically taken in the second year.
