Write software for orbit. Master orbital mechanics basics, flight software logic, and satellite communication protocols.
Space is the ultimate edge computing environment. This course covers the software engineering challenges of spaceflight. You will learn the basics of Orbital Mechanics (Kepler's laws) to understand spacecraft motion. Master writing Flight Software (FSW) logic that must never crash, handling telemetry data streams, and redundancy planning. We use simulations to model orbit insertion and satellite constellations. Essential for the new space economy.
