Satellite Mission Design

An introductory online course designed to cover the core fundamentals of space systems engineering

How to start designing a space mission from scratch and understand the key decisions made by satellite engineers before building a spacecraft. This introductory course is specially designed to academically and conceptually prepare students and connect theoretical concepts with modern space technology.
Target Audience: Students aged 11 to 16 years old.
Delivery Method: Online
Prerequisites: None
Total Training Hours: 5 Hours Total

The course covers the following core modules:

Space & Satellite Applications:
The role of satellites in solving communication problems and providing services on Earth.
Orbital Mechanics:
Gravity, orbital motion, and satellite orbits.
Orbit Selection:
Comparing different orbits (LEO, MEO, and GEO) and choosing the right orbit for the mission.
Orbital Elements:
Understanding the elements that describe the shape, size, and orientation of an orbit.
Satellite Subsystems:
Exploring satellite subsystems including:
(Structure, EPS, Thermal, OBC, ADCS, Communication, Payload).
Launch & Deployment:
The launch phase, reaching orbit, and deploying the satellite in space.
Satellite Operations:
Sending commands, receiving data, and operating the mission successfully.
Space Sustainability:
Managing space debris and planning for the end-of-life of satellites.
Mission Design Challenge:
A mini practical application to prepare a preliminary space mission concept.

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

Explain the fundamental principles of satellite operations.
Understand the relationship between mission goals and appropriate orbits.
Identify the functions of various subsystems inside a satellite.
Think about power, communication, control, and operational requirements.
Prepare a preliminary concept for a space mission using learned engineering decisions.
Prepare for understanding practical and advanced applications.

Official Certificate of Completion: Issued by Aerospace Craft Academy, and Nano Satellite Yard.
Digital Study Material: Access to digital slides, reference handouts, and guided mini-project materials.
Recorded Sessions: Live sessions are recorded and made accessible for the entire duration of the course plus 1 week after completion.
