Learning Outcomes

The space industry is demanding for space systems engineers capable of designing a space system from the basic requirements while having a robust knowledge of the project management, technical design, and product assurance disciplines. This module builds the skills to harmonize all engineering disciplines related to a space system design project, from a managerial and technical perspective. The module follows the European standards to project management, system analysis, reliability, and risk assessment as well as verification and testing strategies. The students actively apply the knowledge gained in the theoretical lectures on hands-on experience projects. After successful completion of this module, students will be able to - plan a space project in the phases B and C according to European standards, - apply basic tools to conduct a preliminary design of a space mission (e.g. risk analysis, cost planning), - document a space project according to European standards, - discuss options for key decisions in space projects (e.g. make or buy, model philosophy, AIT approach), - apply their fundamental space engineering knowledge and skills in a real space project, - recognize the importance of managing technical interfaces between different work packages, - manage their interactions with people in an interdisciplinary and international team, - present their work professionally in space project reviews.

The Workload of the module sums up to 270.0 Hours. Therefore the module contains 9 Credits.

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

The module consists of theoretical lectures complemented by short assignments. To apply the theoretical content, students participate in a system design project. The project consists of developing a fully system. Participants are assigned to a specific subsystem, where they will analyse the mission objectives, develop requirements, evaluate alternative mission concepts, identify system drivers and describe the final mission architecture. The project is assessed through a mid-term review, a final review, as well as a final report.

Requirements for participation and examination

Desirable prerequisites for participation in the courses:

- Completed the module Fundamentals of Space Technology - Completed the module Space Mission Planning and Operations - Completed the module Satellite Technology

Mandatory requirements for the module test application:

Test description (Module completion)

A mid-term and final presentation about the system design project are held to assess the ability to apply the theoretical concepts. The documentation about the system design project evaluates the students' ability to document project work properly. In addition, a 1 hour written exam assesses the knowledge that is covered in the theoretical lectures.
