  2. Introduction • Jeff Forrest, Ph.D., Chair - • Aviation & Aerospace Science Department • forrestj@mscd.edu

  3. Overview • Intro to the Advanced Aviation & Aerospace Flight Training Lab (AAAFT) • Intro to CCD-MSCD degree programs using Satellite Toolkit (STK) & AAAFT Lab • Intro to STK Applications • Scenarios • Orbital Mechanics • Brief tour of the Aviation & Aerospace Science Dept.

  4. AAAFT Lab • Advanced Aviation & Aerospace Flight Training Lab • Students “fly” • Space vehicles • Aircraft w/ space-based data • Students “plan missions” • Commercialized operations • Exploration • Innovation • WIRED • AAFT classroom technology & infrastructure • ~ 110 students used the AAFT lab in 08

  5. CCD + MSCDDegree & Certificate Programs • Created from resources: • WIRED • NASA & United Negro College (ACES) • AGI-STK • MSCD / CCD • B.S. Aerospace Systems Engineering Technology 1st term fall 08 ~10 students • B.S. Space Physics 1st term spring 09 ~ 3 students • B.S. Aerospace Operations Management 1st term spring 04 ~ 70 students • Certificate in Space Commercialization 1st term fall 08 (unknown # students)

  6. CCD + MSCD Improve access by minorities to collegiate programs preparing careers in aerospace. 2+2 Degree Programs: Graduate Schools Industry Engineering Physics Aerospace Sciences

  7. STK Applications • Lab – Aerospace applications • MSCD awarded 22 seats of Satellite Toolkit (STK) by Analytical Graphics, Inc. ($1.5m) • Astrodynamics & space flight mission analysis • Project management

  8. STK Applications • Mission planning & projects related to the design, development, and use of spacecraft & aircraft • STEM & science management: math, engineering, physics, science, & commercialized project management!

  9. Orbital Design (a) • Orbital mechanics is a tool, a highly complex and iterative process, used for determining orbit design … Orbit design is a function of mission requirements …. The following slide contains just a small sample of concerns related to mission requirements …

  10. Orbital Design (b) • Mission Requirement • Coverage required • Ground track, viewing angles, duration, etc. • Survivability • Radiation, hostile action • Political constraints • Treaties, safety, international allocations • Orbit Lifetime • SV service time • Parameter Affected • Coverage Factors • Altitude, inclination Node • Survivability Factors • Altitude, inclination • Political Factors • Altitude, inclination, longitude in GEO • Orbit Lifetime Factors • Altitude, eccentricity

  11. STK demo • (Reference your CPU screen)
