Course on space and planetary applications of science and engineering this Fall 2021
Dear students: I would like to make you aware of the following "space-age" course for this fall:
Course description: Overview of human and robotic space exploration, including its history, current status, and future opportunities. Course topics cover the space environment, space transportation systems, destinations (Low-Earth orbit, Moon, Mars, asteroids, other planets), the aerospace industry, space commerce and law, and the international space activity. Emphasis is placed on the field of space resources, including their identification, extraction, and utilization to enable future space exploration and the new space economy.
This class is the first course required for the following programs:
1) Aerospace Engineering Minor 2) Computer Science+Space Track 3) Space Mining Minor 4) Space and Planetary Science and Engineering Area of Special Interest
I look forward to having all of you "space enthusiasts" onboard this semester-long space ride!
