Spacecraft Electronic Systems

This course provides the student with an overview of and a beginning skillset in the design of space electronics systems. The development of space electronics systems including power systems, command and data handling systems, attitude determination and control systems, communications systems and payloads and payload interface systems require an understanding of electrical/electronic design, and electronics systems fabrication, and testing. Specific skills will be fostered in printed circuit board design and layout (using the Altium software system), optimization, fabrication, and testing. These processes are addressed through project-based learning
