Section Info:
ENG 491 CU1 - Nanosatellite Design and Build 1 is an advanced course focusing on the in-depth tools and techniques used in spacecraft development. It covers topics such as link and power budgets, orbit analysis, and spacecraft testing with lab equipment like thermal vacuum chambers (TVAC), solar simulators, and center of gravity/moment of inertia measurement tools. Students engage heavily in CubeSat projects, applying advanced concepts to real satellite missions and testing. The course has a strong lab component, emphasizing independent project work and hands-on experience in spacecraft testing and mission development. Students should take AE 298 INS (Intro to Nanosatellite Design) prior to taking ENG 491 CU1.
