EG-2021 Subsonic Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics

This module introduces the fundamental equations governing aerodynamics and their application to aeronautical systems and covers the fundamentals of flight mechanics. The students learn about aeroplane aerodynamics, performance, stability and control. The basic concepts and principles are derived and their application to specific problems is demonstrated.
EG-3097 Space Launch and In-Orbit Systems and Technologies

This module is divided into two parts and introduces students to Space Launch and In-Orbit Systems and corresponding technologies. In first part module focus is on earth orbiting satellites, the environment they operate-in and how they are controlled, with reference to satellite communication technologies, applications of earth orbiting satellites and the technologies behind this. In second part module will introduce past, current and future developments in technology used in space launch propulsion systems, in-orbit propulsion systems and power systems for spacecrafts. The lecturing topics will cover majority of relevant theories and practical applications related to the space vehicles launch phase, maneuvering and deep space missions.
EG-M352 Advanced Space Launch and In-Orbit Systems and Technologies

This module is separated into 2 main portions, first part the Space Launch Systems and Technologies and second part, In-Orbit Space Systems and Technologies. The Space Launch Systems and Technology module part provides students with an introduction to the process and methods required to design space access systems. It will cover propulsion systems, aerodynamics, mission design and trajectory analysis. This part covers conventional vertical launch systems and spaceplanes. These include both the mathematical underpinning of the design of such systems, and extensive examples from the real world. In addition ¿ students will be involved in practical aspects of testing launch vehicle concept through laboratory exercise. This in-orbit portion aims to develop students understanding of how the Space Environment is utilised, both for business and exploration. It is designed to extend knowledge of space system design and life cycle, the near-Earth environment, as well as to introduce human spaceflight and exploration. The content includes: ¿ Life cycle modelling ¿ Space system design philosophy ¿ Space regulation frameworks and organisations ¿ Orientation Tracking ¿ Satellite design life cycle ¿ Scientific and novel commercial missions ¿ Manned Spaceflight
EG-M353 Group Project (Aerospace)

This module enables students to participate in a group activity involving an integrated holistic approach to achieve a solution to a specific engineering problem. In most instances it will involve either direct interaction with industry or will be an industrially related project. Issues other than providing a purely technical solution to the problem will have to be considered in order to achieve a satisfactory outcome to the project.
EGA229 Experimental Studies - Aerospace

The course introduces the students to experimental studies in a wide range of subjects relevant to Aerospace Engineering. Each experiment is self contained and the student will present the findings in written form through a lab report (or combination of lab reports and class tests) which will have a set of experiment specific questions to answer. This written reports and class tests also forms the basis for the assessment. All students work in groups and carry out five in-situ experiments and one external experiment, however the assignments are all individually submitted. The students keep a log-book of the experimental observations and results, which is used for reference for the technical report from each experiment written-up within the fortnight after the experiment.
