Seminar Spacecraft Maneuvers

What it is about

You will learn to practically operate a spacecraft during various maneuvers and to conduct flights on the Soyuz spaceflight simulator. You will deepen orbital mechanics, gain detailed knowledge of spacecraft systems, and apply this knowledge in guided and autonomous training sessions on the simulator. In the end you will be able to perform flight maneuvers, evaluate flight data, and identify problems or anomalies in your own flights.

What you will be able to do

• Understand spacecraft subsystems and their control
• Explain maneuvers for approaching and docking a space station
• Name criteria for the design of future spacecraft
• Process and interpret recorded flight data

What the module consists of

• VorlesungConveying the theoretical content and providing a slide collection
• Geführte Trainingseinheiten (mit Tutoren)Practical application of what was learned on the Soyuz simulator
• Freies Training im SimulatorDeepening and independent practice of maneuvers
