This course will familiarise students with current military applications of space systems and policy. On successful completion of this course, the student will be able to analyse and evaluate the capabilities of commercial communication and imaging satellites. In addition, establish the parameters for vehicle launch and recovery, understand ballistic missile defence and evaluate the threat from space systems.
Completing this course will provide students with the necessary skills in order to critically assess current and proposed space systems. The course will equip graduates with a broad understanding of the underlying space technologies.
This course is designed for students who are required to understand the principles of space systems and potential threats. The course is suitable for all levels of background within this domain; from ab-initio to seasoned operator. The course contains both foundation and advanced academic material.
