Spacecraft & Launch Vehicle Environments Seminar

Description

Environmental forces, whether natural or induced,  produce mechanical and thermal loading on the launch vehicle and spacecraft. Early in the development of any

launch vehicle or spacecraft, these loads must be estimated and incorporated into

the design, analysis and test programs. 


Environmental specifications are the basis

for test levels which are used to verify the design and workmanship of a spacecraft. 

The course provides participants with the necessary background and tools 

to produce a set of environmental specifications and test levels for a spacecraft 

program.  


Emphasis is on how to progress from the measurement or analytical

estimation of the launch or on-orbit environment to a specification that can be 

incorporated into the spacecraft test verification program. The course is also ideal for managers and system engineers wishing to gain a good understanding of how spacecraft environments and resulting requirements creep can impact their program risk. 


PDF files of the course slides are provided. Hyperlinks are embedded in the course slides which link to the related reference material or to outside web resources.
