Unit: | AERO4712: Advanced Aerospace Project 4 (6 CP) |
Mode: | Normal-Day |
On Offer: | Yes |
Level: | Senior Advanced |
Faculty/School: | School of Aerospace, Mechanical & Mechatronic Engineering |
Unit Coordinator/s: |
Prof Sukkarieh, Salah
|
Session options: | Semester 1, Semester 2, Winter Main, Summer Main |
Versions for this Unit: |
Campus: | Camperdown/Darlington |
Pre-Requisites: | AERO4711. Department permission required |
Brief Handbook Description: | This unit of study is for those students who have completed Space Engineering Projects 3, and who wish to finalise their design by developing the interfacing and insertion phases into Satellite or Launch Vehicle system. Students who take this subject would have completed the previous three Space Engineering Projects, and have been provided with the opportunity to place their system into an actual system. Launch of the sub-system will be dependent on the current opportunities existing with international collaborators. |
Assumed Knowledge: | None. |
Additional Notes: | Note1: A WAM of > 75% is required as well as departmental permission from the Space Engineering coordinator. Note2: There is a cap on the number of students allowed to do this subject in any one semester - depending on resources available. |
