Spacecraft Formation Relative Orbits Specialization

Explore a Career in Spacecraft Relative Orbits. Master the theories and concepts of spacecraft formation relative orbits.

Instructor: Hanspeter Schaub

What you'll learn

  •   Describe relative orbits using a range of coordinates
  •   Describe the impact of orbit perturbations on the relative orbit geometry
  •   Design relative formations that exploit orbital perturbations
  •   Develop feedback control laws to stabilize desired relative orbits

    • Skills you'll gain

  •   Mechanics
  •   Applied Mathematics
  •   Engineering Calculations
  •   Numerical Analysis
  •   Mathematical Modeling
  •   Differential Equations
  •   Control Systems
  •   Advanced Mathematics
  •   Simulation and Simulation Software
  •   Linear Algebra
  •   Engineering Analysis
  •   Calculus

    • Specialization - 3 course series

    The learner will learn how to design, model and control relative orbit trajectories suitable for a range of mission scenarios. The Specialization concludes with a capstone project where learners will apply their knowledge to investigate having a servicer spacecraft approach a tumbling space debris object.
