Course content
The purpose of this course is to give the student an overview of the European space project standards including The European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) and The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) preparing him for participating in industrious European space projects. While dealing with large, complex projects system engineering focus on how these projects should be design and managed, including identifying design drivers, trade-off studies, budgets and the system engineering process. Also, the design methodology will be discussed with a special focus on concurrent design. The following technical topics will be presented throughout this course:Spacecraft structures and configuration
- Coordinate system
- Constraints
- Arrangement types
- Preliminary arrangement and mass estimation
Spacecraft mechanisms
- One-shot devices
Separation systems
Mechanisms for deployable structures
