Education level Second cycle Grade scale G U 3 4 5 Subject Space Engineering Subject group (SCB) Space Technology Entry requirementsM0032M Functions of Several Variables and Computer Tools or in other words basic courses in linear algebra, calculus, and ordinary differential equations and partial differentials. In-depth studies in mechanics involving Kepler laws with 3-dim applications, like F0008T Mechanics II. Some knowledge about satellites as well as some familarity with programming are advantageous. More information about English language requirements SelectionThe selection is based on 20-285 creditsCourse Aim The student shall acquire ability to understand and predict how spacecraft orbit evolves. The student shall acquire familiarity with concepts and methods used within the field spaceflight dynamics. These requirements are shown by the student’s ability to account for this. The student shall acquire capability of performing analytical and computer based calculation of orbits. The student shall acquire skills in writing report of analysis and calculations. The student shall be able to value different orbits efficiency concerning time consumption and fuel consumption. This is shown by comparative calculations. epokLayout.subscribe(this, 'onsubmit', function(){ console.debug("onEvent:onsubmit"); epokUtils.htmlFieldProcessResult('_htmlField_952975544',''); }); epokLayout.unsubscribe(this); Contents Kepler’s equations and Kepler’s problem.
