Overview

This course on Space Flight Mechanics aims to teach students about particle kinematics, the two-body problem, the three-body problem, trajectory transfer, attitude dynamics, and propulsion in the context of space missions. By the end of the course, learners will be able to analyze and calculate the motion of objects in space, understand the dynamics of spacecraft attitude control, and comprehend the principles of propulsion systems used in space exploration. The course utilizes a lecture-based teaching method and is designed for individuals interested in gaining knowledge about the mechanics of space flight.
