Optional Review: Angular Velocity Derivative - Kinematics: Describing the Motions of Spacecraft
Spacecraft Dynamics and Control Specialization
The movement of bodies in space (like spacecraft, satellites, and space stations) must be predicted and controlled with precision in order to ensure safety and efficacy. Kinematics is a field that develops descriptions and predictions of the motion of these bodies in 3D space. This course in Kinematics covers four major topic areas: an introduction to particle kinematics, a deep dive into rigid body kinematics in two parts (starting with classic descriptions of motion using the directional cosine matrix and Euler angles, and concluding with a review of modern descriptors like quaternions and Classical and Modified Rodrigues parameters). The course ends with a look at static attitude determination, using modern algorithms to predict and execute relative orientations of bodies in space.
After this course, you will be able to...
Differentiate a vector as seen by another rotating frame and derive frame dependent velocity and acceleration vectors
Apply the Transport Theorem to solve kinematic particle problems and translate between various sets of attitude descriptions
Add and subtract relative attitude descriptions and integrate those descriptions numerically to predict orientations over time
Derive the fundamental attitude coordinate properties of rigid bodies and determine attitude from a series of heading measurements
if you are an aerospace engineering student and would like to get into orbital mechanics/ control and dynamics of satellites or celestial bodies, it's a decent course (series) to take.,Amazing class from an amazing teacher. I found it fascinating from the beginning to the end, and cannot wait for next modules, especially the last!
