Course in Aerospace Engineering
The purpose of the course is to give the students general knowledge about a satellite as a complex engineering
system consisting of components heavily interacting with each other.
The number of subsystems and their function will be presented: power electronics, onboard computer, mechanical
structure, software, ground station, sensors and actuators. The course is so called "free study activity" and its
recommended for all students and their supervisors involved in AAU satellite project.
