Spacecract Kinematic-Dynamics and Control - BTECH&MTECH

This document describes a 3 credit course on spacecraft kinematics, dynamics, and control. The course covers topics such as attitude kinematics including direct cosine matrices, Euler angles, and Euler parameters. It also covers attitude kinetics and dynamics including rigid body angular momentum, inertia tensors, and equations of motion. Finally, it addresses attitude control including nonlinear rigid body state and rate control and stability analyses. The course uses exams, quizzes, a literature review, design project, and simulation to evaluate students.
