Training School Program

In this training school the student acquires fundamentals on systems engineering of space systems and the key aspects of spacecraft systems design. He/she will also learn the design considerations which come into play in laying out a space mission and its preliminary design. The module will enable students to design and engineer a scientific space mission. Therefore, the high-level learning objectives are: - knowledge of the main aspects of satellite missions; - understanding the usage of systems engineering methods and practices; - expertise in the elements and architecture of a spacecraft mission; - capability to present and defend their design of an element in the architecture of a spacecraft mission; - familiarity with current trends in space industry and space science mission research. This training school aim to drive revolutions in thinking, as well as science and technology, at all levels from observations, to mission concept design, to instruments, where the impact must advance our knowledge and accessibility to space at a fundamental level. This training school will be held in the hybrid mode.
