Introduction to the Space Environment and Space Systems (Certified Space Professional - Level 1)
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
Space System Design (Certified Space Professional - Level 2)
Continuous improvements in technology and globalization of services led to the development and proliferation of advanced space systems across commercial, civil, and military sectors. Space capabilities underpin infrastructure and services for commerce, agriculture, humanitarian- and disaster-relief efforts, financial transactions, social networks, and national defense. This course builds upon the principles of orbital mechanics and spacecraft design from 'Intro to the Space Environment & 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.
Adversary Space Capabilities II (Certified Space Professional Level 3)
China and Russia threaten the ability of nations around the world to deter aggression, protect national interests, and fight and win future conflicts. Simultaneously, the rapidly expanding commercial space industry provides low-cost space capabilities & options for nations and actors across the globe to enter a previously inaccessible domain. 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.
Adversary Space Capabilities I (Certified Space Professional - Level 3)
Adversaries rely on a variety of integrated terrestrial, cyber, and space-based capabilities and equipment to deliver information, communications, and global awareness. The rapidly expanding commercial space industry provides low-cost space capabilities and options for nations and actors across the globe to enter a previously inaccessible domain. This course introduces the student to the who, what, and why regarding China, Russia, and commercial space programs. By examining the national objectives of both countries, their current and developing space- based capabilities, and commercial space endeavors, graduates of this course will have a firm understanding of the challenges and opportunities these doctrinally based capabilities pose to US and allied interests.
Flight Dynamics Operations (FDO) is a mission critical component of the full Spacecraft Mission Operations. Fundamentally, FDO is responsible for the navigation and guidance of the spacecraft to ensure the mission orbit is achieved and maintained. FD functions include Orbit Determination (OD) to determine the spacecraft orbital state, trajectory design, and maneuver planning to achieve target mission or maintenance requirements. FDO supports other operations components by providing data products based on various orbital information such as station visibilities, lighting conditions, etc. FDO must also ingest and provide information external to the Mission Operations team, including ground station acquisition and tracking data, and collision avoidance data. This training course will scratch the surface of Flight Dynamics Operations, and will function as a primer for more detailed training courses for the different flight dynamics subdisciplines that need to be analyzed, designed, implemented, tested, and finally, operated.
