Role within programme and connections to other courses. A simulation and design studio lab in which students will learn to develop and simulate fundamental principles used in the engineering and design of space systems. Students will be using CAD and numerical simulation concepts to design and test different subsystems of a space mission and assemble them properly. The students will also simulate spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control. The lab will introduce students to simulation tools for mission design methodologies, systems engineering, optimization, sensing, estimation, and control. These concepts will be applied to the design and development of a CubeSat using commercially available components.
Prerequisites: PHYS 3481, PHYS 3431.
