CourseDetails
• Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion: Understanding the foundation of classical orbital mechanics, including the laws of elliptical orbits, equal areas in equal time, and the period-area relation.
• Orbital Elements: Identifying and interpreting orbital element sets, including the semi-major axis, eccentricity, inclination, longitude of the ascending node, and argument of perigee.
• Two-Body Problem: Analyzing the motion of two celestial bodies under the influence of their mutual gravitational attraction, and applying analytical techniques to predict orbital behavior.
• Orbital Perturbations: Examining the impact of external forces, such as third-body gravitational attractions, atmosphere, and solar radiation pressure, on orbital parameters and motion.
• Lagrange Points: Investigating the locations and characteristics of Lagrange points in space, and their potential applications in astrodynamics and spacecraft design.
• Patched Conics: Implementing patched conics to approximate complex orbital trajectories and facilitate mission planning and analysis.
• Transfer Orbits: Designing and optimizing transfer orbits, including Hohmann, bi-elliptic, and low-thrust transfer orbits, for spacecraft maneuvers and interplanetary missions.
• Attitude Control and Stabilization: Introducing the fundamentals of spacecraft attitude control systems, including reaction wheels, thrusters, and gravity-gradient stabilization.
• Spacecraft Dynamics and Navigation: Analyzing spacecraft motion and navigation in various orbital regimes, including orbital maneuvers, rendezvous, and proximity operations.
