What You Will Learn in This Astrodynamics Course
Orbital Mechanics and Celestial Motion
Gain a strong foundation in orbital mechanics, including Kepler's Laws, orbital elements, and two-body motion. Learn how satellites, planets, and spacecraft move under gravitational forces and how these principles are applied in real missions.
Spacecraft Maneuvers and Mission Design
Understand and analyze space maneuvers, including
• In-plane maneuvers
• Plane change maneuvers
• Orbital transfers
• Fuel-efficient trajectory planning
These concepts are essential for satellite deployment, orbit correction, and mission optimization.
N-Body Problem and Gravitational Interactions
Explore the N-body problem, one of the most critical challenges in astrodynamics. Learn how multiple celestial bodies interact gravitationally and how these interactions affect spacecraft trajectories in complex systems such as Earth-Moon and interplanetary missions.
Trajectory Equations and Conic Sections
Master trajectory equations used in astrodynamics. Study conic sections-elliptical, parabolic, and hyperbolic orbits-and learn how they define spacecraft paths for Earth orbits, escape trajectories, and deep-space missions.
Rocket Propulsion and Spaceflight Physics
Develop a clear understanding of rocket propulsion systems, thrust generation, and the physics of spaceflight. Learn how propulsion choices affect mission performance, fuel consumption, and spacecraft design.
