Dr. Andrew Ketsdever
Space Mission Design
• Advantages of Space
– Global perspective– Clear view of the heavens– Free-fall environment– Abundant resources– Final frontier
Space Mission Design
• Many different types of design processes, which do we use?– All, or maybe none of them! All attempt to solve basic
problem of optimizing performance, cost, and time
→ Just depends on what you’re trying to accomplish (must consider project goals, constraints, background of group solving, etc)
