Engineer the off-world economy. Design mission architectures for prospecting, extraction, and logistics in micro-gravity environments.
Resources on Earth are finite; space is infinite. This conceptual engineering course teaches the architecture of asteroid mining missions. You will learn the orbital mechanics of rendezvous with Near Earth Objects (NEOs). Master the physics of micro-gravity excavation and processing. We simulate the logistics chain: prospecting with spectroscopy, autonomous extraction swarm logic, and return trajectories. A forward-looking course for systems engineers planning the space resource economy.
