The  aim of the course would be to emphasize in advance concepts of guidance, navigation and control for space systems, including satellites, rockets, rovers, aerial vehicles, manipulators and planes. The learning objectives of the course are:

1. Trajectory generation
2. Attitude estimation
3. Space Sensors for Navigation
4. path Planning
5. Trajectory Tracking
6. LQR/LQG control
7. MPC control for satellite
8. Machine Vision for Space applications I
9. Machine Vision for Space applications II
10. Visual Servoing
11. Spacecrafts / Rover Kinematics
12. Rockets kinematics, dynamics and control
13. Manipulator Kinematics

The course realization will take place through: a) lectures and b) labs. The aim is to demonstrate the fundamental concepts of advanced spacecraft control in real-life experimental setups to strengthen the learning objectives of the course.

The course will involve realistic simulations and experiments to demonstrate the learning objectives of the course, while providing the necessary background to the students to understand, design and utilize GNC systems. The course will be finalized with a research oriented project that will be defined with the examiner.

The course examination will be based on a final project evaluation that the student should select and formulate with the help of the examiner. For passing the course, the student should have successfully completed all the required lab assignments as well.
