Space Systems Intermediate Training:

Space Systems Intermediate Training Course with Hands-on Exercises (Onsite, Online, and Classroom Live)

Space Systems Intermediate Training multi-disciplinary course provides a complete summary of the technologies needed to understand and develop spacecraft systems and instrumentation. The course presents a systems engineering approach for understanding the design and testing of spacecraft systems.

The course highlights the underlying scientific and engineering foundations needed to develop space systems, as well as current practices. Case studies are used to pinpoint the key issues and trade-offs in modern design, and to illustrate the lessons learned from past successes and failures.

This course provides a strong technical base for leadership in systems engineering or the management of space systems. Technical specialists will find the broad perspective and knowledge useful in communicating with other space system specialists in analyzing design options and trade-offs.
