Learning Outcomes

Nowadays, a well-founded practical knowledge in electronics is inevitable for space systems engineers. Electronics and hardware-near software are significant parts of any space mission. The systems engineer shall understand the main requirements on spacecraft equipment and their interconnections with respect to electrical characteristics and interfaces. The module imparts the practical skills relevant to designing hardware and software for a spacecraft. With completion of the course, students shall be able to conceptualize an electronics system, define interfaces, design and manufacture printed circuit boards and write hardware-near software in context of spacecraft systems.

Content

- Basics of electronics - Analog electronics - Design of electronics circuits - Handling of laboratory equipment - Digital electronics - Programming of microcontrollers - Hardware and software of satellite systems

Workload description	Multiplier	Hours	Total
Attendance	15.0	2.0h	30.0h
Pre/post processing	15.0	4.0h	60.0h
			90.0h(~3 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 is highly practice-oriented. All students receive a comprehensive package of electronics parts and measurement equipment in the beginning of each semester. Theoretical contents converts directly into practical experience during the lectures in which the electronics parts are used. There are multiple hands-on homework exercises throughout the semester in which students build circuits and write software. In addition, specific space-related aspects of electronics are covered in guest lectures. During both semesters, a joint project with the lecture course Spacecraft Dynamics and Control is conducted. Small teams of students build a FloatSat with different sensors and actuators. The FloatSat is put on an air-bearing table and shall perform attitude control maneuvers. The electrical design, manufacturing and demonstration of core functionalities are assessed in scope of the Space Electronics lecture course.
