Astrodynamics & Spacecraft Systems Engineering
During my two classes in Astrodynamics and Spacecraft Systems Engineering, I was fortunate to work on multiple projects utilizing trajectory planning using STK and designing spacecraft using fundamentals of systems engineering. In spacecraft systems engineering class, I led my team to design SEWED (Satellite for Early Warning, Exploration, and Defense), which are two spacecraft that will be parked at L4 and L5 of Mars to study the Trojan asteroids and be used as early planetary defense warning systems. We followed the systems engineering approach of devising systems requirements, mission statements, preliminary design reviews, and critical design reviews. In addition to spacecraft design class, I have worked on planetary trajectory projects utilizing STK and MATLAB for destinations ranging from LEO and Mars to Jupiter and its moon Ganymede.
