Mission Design Workshop
Workshop (Online) by TSTI · POA
This completely hands-on on-site or virtual workshop provides a unique opportunity to design a real-world space mission from scratch. Course participants are given a set of mission objectives in the form of a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Announcement of Opportunity (AO) and divided into competing groups to conceptually design a viable mission that meets the customer expectations at an acceptable lifecycle cost. The groups are guided through a structured space system engineering approach to define a mission concept and supporting space mission architecture, and complete a detailed analysis. Participants are given a comprehensive mission design and analysis tool along with a full copy of the Satellite Tool Kit software to analyze trade-offs and complete their design. A minimum of in-class lecture provides “just-in-time” learning and concrete examples to keep participants on track. The product of the design exercise is a 30 minute Mission Concept Review presentation where the participants are given the opportunity to outline and defend their design decisions. The Space Mission Design Exercise serves as a concrete and practical means to apply and test space system engineering techniques in a non-threatening, real-life environment. With over 3,000 alumni, this course is designed for systems engineers, payload principle investigators, subsystem engineers or project managers who are responsible for the detailed design and operations of space systems. Intact teams preparing to develop or respond to an existing RFP or AO. Past participants from Designing Space Missions & Systems, Human Spaceflight or Understanding Space are ideal!

Sustainability in Space? Could Safety Cases Help
Seminar (Online) by Safety and Reliability Society (SaRS) · Past · Free
The growth of satellites in orbit has been matched by a growth in orbital debris. With the recent increase in mega constellations, the importance of taking a sustainable approach to space operations is increasingly a priority. Since the earliest days of space activity, international agreements such as the Outer Space Treaty, national laws and licensing, and of course standards and guidance have all played a part in ensuring that a balanced approach is taken to space operations. But what else can be learnt from other sectors ? This talk will explore what aspects of the ground based regulatory environment in the UK could be usefully applied to a hypothetical Safety Case in Space approach. Considering a generic low earth orbit mid-sized satellite, the pros and cons of a potential safety case informed approach will be explored for a full lifecycle in orbit operation, from deployment through to de-orbiting.

Geostationary, Sun-synchronous and other orbits, as well as interplanetary trajectories, maneuvering, re-entry and launch windows are also discussed. The final section of the course examines space systems including remote sensing and other payloads, human spaceflight challenges as well as an examination of key spacecraft subsystems including rockets and launch vehicles. Course exercises are used to reinforce key topics. Understanding Space is the ideal course for technical or non-technical professionals new to the space industry, those “cross-training” from other disciplines or anyone who needs a refresher on space fundamentals. This course is designed for engineers, scientists, or managers either new to the space field or who want to broaden their understanding of the big picture of space systems and operations.
