As a part of Colorado School of Mines' Space Resource Program, this course covers fundamentals of space mission design related to space resources and robot subsystem design to fulfill mission objectives. These 15 videos are only a teaser for the course, which accompanies lively discussions and engineering deliverables as assignments.

In this five-part series, I, Dr. Frankie Zhu, will: 1) Introduce active learning algorithms and their benefits, 2) Explore the key components of these algorithms, 3) Discuss how to select models that underpin active learning, and 4) Examine various applications and limitations. The series will conclude with a presentation by Hans Mertens on a recent advance in 5) Using active learning for identifying the dynamics of diverse systems.

A three-part series covering: 1) reference frames and vector notation, 2) Newton's laws and transport theorem, and 3) Euler's rigid body dynamics and numerical examples.

Design a spacecraft from concept to component selection with consideration for science, budget, and risk.

Topics cover the space environment, orbital mechanics, systems engineering, and spacecraft bus design that incorporates mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and fundamental physics.
