REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENT PROJECT
Course Description
Space Mission Design is a two semester sequence class
which includes the history of human spacecraft and the technical considerations
for their design and use. The technical development of human spacecraft
from Vostok to the International Space Station will
be reviewed. Spacecraft design requirements based on the space
environment and human physiology will be discussed and a design process will be
with taught using systems providing life support. The course will center
around a student design of a spacecraft for a human interplanetary exploratory
mission and will include technical design and program management. Some
collaboration will be done with student teams from other
universities. Requirements will include student spacecraft system
design projects with presentation of proposals, design reviews and completed
design projects.
The class is taught by former astronaut Jim Voss and will
include guest lecturers from the aerospace industry and NASA.
