LE/ESSE4360 Payload Design Course Description

This provides students with a comprehensive and accurate approach for the specification and detailed design of different spacecraft payloads. The payloads may include optical payload, microwave payload, communications payload, and planetary exploration payload. Reliability analysis and its application will also be taught based on space systems. Design projects will be assigned to students during the course.

Course Goal To learn spacecraft payload design process and philosophy, and fundamentals of various payloads.

! Twice-weekly lectures. ! Homework, including reading assignments, will be assigned aperiodically. No late

homework will be accepted. Collaboration with others on homework is acceptable, but line-by-line copying of someone else's homework is cheating, and will result in a grade of zero for that assignment. A repeated instance of cheating will result in an F for the course.

! Project Design. Students will be divided into several groups depending on the class size. In the middle of this course, each group will be asked to submit a design proposal for specific spacecraft payload and complete the project by the end of this course. The design steps may include letter of intent, presentation on relative background and payload design concept, detailed design, final presentation and delivery of final project report.

! Lecture Notes: available on the course website. Course Grading

Course grades are determined as follows: Assignments (including readings): 10% Preliminary Project Design: 5% (Letter of Intent) Detailed Design Review: 5% (Presentation) Final Project Design: 35% (Report 25% and Presentation 10%) Final Exam: 45% Total: 100%
