MAE 3307. SPACECRAFT DYNAMICS AND CONTROL. 3 Hours.
Fundamental principles and techniques of spacecraft rigid-body dynamics and control. Spacecraft attitude analysis using Euler angles and quaternions. Attitude disturbance torques, attitude determination methods, and basic concepts in feedback control, stability analysis, and hardware used in spacecraft attitude subsystem design. Modeling and simulation are key components in this course. Prerequisite: C or better in MAE 3304.
