Certificate in Space Systems

The initial offering of this program will be a graduate certificate focused on providing a general overview of Space Systems.  The certificate will consist of three, 3-credit hour courses:

  • SPCE 6000 - Introduction to Space Systems
  • SPCE 6100 - Space System Operations
  • SPCE 6200 - Spacecraft and Satellite Architecture Design and Integration

These will be newly developed courses taught by faculty from both Engineering and COSAM with the Departments of Aerospace Engineering and Physics serving as the lead units.  All of the courses in the certificate program will be taken for a grade.  A new four-letter designation, SPCE, is proposed to identify courses that are specific to this program.
