There are 4 modules in this course

After this course, you will be able to... * Design safe approach trajectories * Implement relative motion feedback control solutions * Model the relative motion and relative attitude in the LVLH frame * Implement non-Keplerian reference motion Please note: this is an advanced course, best suited for working engineers or students with college-level knowledge in mathematics and physics. The material covered is taking from the book "Analytical Mechanics of Space Systems" available at https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/book/10.2514/4.105210.
