Learning Outcomes

The module imparts the basics of satellite technology. In this context, all segments of a satellite mission are discussed. Especially, all subsystems of a satellite and their interdependencies are presented by experts. The technologies and design processes are treated in detail. Students shall develop a well-founded base of knowledge about every aspect of a complex satellite system. The skills imparted in this module are valuable for making valuations on satellite subsystems. This shall support the systems engineering competence of the students.

Content

- Classification of satellites - Electrical Power Subsystem (EPS) - Thermal Control Subsystem (TCS) - Structure and Mechanisms (S&M) - Attitude Control Subsystem (ACS) - On-Board Computer (OBC) - Telemetry, Tracking & Command (TT&C) - Satellite propulsion

Workload and Credit Points

Satellite Technology (VL):

Workload description	Multiplier	Hours	Total
Attendance	15.0	4.0h	60.0h
Self-study of lecture materials	15.0	8.0h	120.0h
			180.0h(~6 LP)

The Workload of the module sums up to 180.0 Hours. Therefore the module contains 6 Credits.

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

The course covers all subsystems of satellites in technical detail. Several subsystem experts give lectures on specific aspects of satellite technologies and further elaborate on their field of work with examples from real satellite missions. Comprehensive homework exercises about every subsystem help the student to deepen the knowledge and apply engineering skills and tools for defining satellite subsystems.
