Description: Students are introduced to space systems to provide a basic understanding of space operations and associated scientific principles of space exploration. Abstract concepts are translated to a tangible application through the design, construction, flight, and subsequent analysis of data returned from a working near-space payload. Current space missions are also discussed in the context of the space environment and the broader impact on society.
