Intro to Space Systems (Certified Space Professional - Level 1) Bootcamp: In-person (10 days) Virtual (8hrs/day for 10 days) Semester: In-Person (1day/wk. for 8 weeks) Virtual (1 day/wk. for 8 weeks) This course considers basic orbital mechanics, space and associated terrestrial architecture, and develops a deeper understanding of the military and commercial space environment. At the end of this course, students will be able to describe space system requirements; best employment options for available space assets; and weave in ongoing and future commercial and/or military operations and their impact on national objectives
Intro to Space Systems (On-demand) (Certified Space Professional - Level 1) Asynchronous This is an asynchronous, self-paced 8-hour course designed to raise students’ awareness of space by examining the evolution of human understanding and use of space, space as warfighting domain, and current trends in the emerging space industry. Graduates of this course will be able to describe the characteristics of space and identify the various orbital regimes employed by the various spacecraft in operation today. Expanding on this knowledge, the students will be given an opportunity to learn about the various space-based missions such as satellite communications (SATCOM), intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), position navigation and timing (PNT), missile warning (MW), and environmental monitoring. Lastly, the students will gain a deeper appreciation for the capabilities these missions provide to fielded commanders and how their denial can severely impact the operational environment.
Advanced - Space System Design (Certified Space Professional - Level 2) Bootcamp: In-person (10 days) Virtual (8hrs/day for 10 days) Semester: In-Person (1day/wk. for 8 weeks) Virtual (1 day/wk. for 8 weeks) This course builds upon the principles of orbital mechanics and spacecraft design from Intro to Space Systems. Graduates of this course will clearly articulate how satellites, payloads, and constellations are designed to provide specific capabilities. Students thoroughly explore scientific concepts behind various space- based asset design, including the use of the Electromagnetic Spectrum in remote sensing, frequency allocation and budgets for satellite communications, and the intricacies of precision navigation and timing. Students will design a payload, spacecraft and its associated systems and sub-systems, and constellation for a specific purpose as well as describe the launch and orbital transfer parameters required to ultimately achieve their design. Recommended pre-requisite: Intro to Space Systems
Advanced to Internation Space Capabilities (Certified Space Professional Level 3) Bootcamp: In-person (10 days) Virtual (8hrs/day for 10 days) Semester: In-Person (1day/wk. for 8 weeks) Virtual (1 day/wk. for 8 weeks) China and Russia are developing a wide array of counter-space weapons to hinder international access to essential space services and purposefully interfere with the electromagnetic spectrum. Private industry is developing orbital maintenance and orbital debris removal capabilities which will represent future counterspace threats. This course flows through the Threat Continuum providing required insight to ensure freedom of action in space and, when necessary, defend against threats and deny adversary freedom of action in space.
Executive Seminar - Space Domain and National Security (Certified Space Professional Executive) In-person (3 days) Provides a foundation in space grand strategy to introduce students to space policy and published guidance that shapes strategic initiatives as nation states, allies and partners in space. This seminar provides an overview of the space environment across all orbital regimes and introduces space capabilities to familiarize students with current examples across military, commercial, allied and civil space. This course provides a stark reality-check on our space vulnerabilities through a review of current adversary counter space capabilities and threat systems that provide a variety of critical services to all nations
