This Specialization in advanced spacecraft dynamics and control is designed for experienced spacecraft dynamics and GNC engineers and researchers. It assumes prior completion of the spacecraft dynamics specialization and covers momentum-based attitude dynamics and control, analytical methods to model complex spacecraft systems, and a capstone project course.
Throughout the 3 courses, participants will learn to model spacecraft with angular momentum exchange devices, derive analytical methods to model complex spacecraft systems, and apply Holonomic and Pfaffian constraints to a dynamical description. The modules include:
By the end of the course, participants will be prepared to model the dynamics of spacecraft systems with time-varying components such as reaction wheels, CMS, and deployable panels.
