Postgraduate 700 Level Courses
Space Dynamics and Missions
Classical orbital mechanics and dynamics of spacecraft. Application of this knowledge in mission design for achieving pre-specified objectives and adequate spacecraft pointing. Examples of past missions.
Aerospace Systems Design
Systems engineering for aerospace systems including current practice and standard methods. Conceptual and detailed design of interfaces and subsystems for aerospace projects, including aircraft and spacecraft. Advanced computer-aided tools are used to complete team projects. Includes an overview of indigenous perspectives of space and aerospace based on Mātauranga Māori as a case study.
Aerospace Structures and Mechanisms
Overview of the main issues to be addressed during the structural design process of aircraft and spacecraft, including space mechanisms. Includes requirements definition, analysis processes, materials selection, manufacturing, and typical aircraft and spacecraft configurations.
