Description
The Interplanetary Spacecraft and Satellite Engineering Course is a multidisciplinary course where we will study the components and systems which compose a spacecraft. Space is a really captivating subject which I have been a passionate student of for years, and in which I am currently working as part of the NewSpace Sector. My intention is that you understand the main topics regarding the design and engineering of Spacecraft clearly, by describing in clear terms all the systems which operate in a Spacecraft.
The structure of the Course is the following:
Introduction
Space Environment
Orbital Mechanics
Space Propulsion
Communications
Attitude Control
Power Systems
We will discuss topics such as Radiation, Mechanics and Rigid-Body Physics, Autonomous Stabilization, Mission Definition, Spacecraft Dynamics, Photovoltaic Power Generation and many more.
The objectives of the Course are for you to understand how the instruments operate, which systems are optimal for each given mission, to identify the components of a Spacecraft, and in fact to be able to Design your own Spacecraft as a Rocket Scientist!
I encourage you to begin this journey to Spacecraft Engineering, you won't regret it! If you have any doubts during the course feel free to contact me, I'll answer as quick as possible!
Who this course is for:
- Those who are looking to know more about Spacecraft Engineering
- People interested in Space and Rocket Science
- People interested in acquiring new skills and abilities
- Anyone who is motivated to know more about Space related fields

My name is Lluís Foreman and I am an aerospace engineer deeply interested in space, aeronautics and other engineering fields. I am currently working in the NewSpace sector in Barcelona, Spain, with relevant experience in various domains of engineering and management.
I studied a bachelor's degree in aerospace vehicle engineering, a master's degree in aeronautical engineering and a master's degree in space engineering. I was also involved in several projects at university, from aircraft to rockets.
I devote a lot of time to working on the space sector but I also enjoy providing quality material for those of you who want to know more about aerospace and other engineering fields. I started uploading engineering courses 5 years ago, in 2018, and have continued to improve the quality of the content using the feedback provided by students throughout this time.
My aim is to convince students that engineering is composed by topics that, even if sometimes complex, can be understood. The courses aim to provide a solid background in engineering domains to facilitate comprehension of key fundamental topics, as well as to encourage students to further explore their interests with a deeper know-how.
Feel free to contact me for information regarding the courses or additional information on engineering!
I hope you find the courses useful and enjoy the material uploaded!
Kind regards to all,
Lluís Foreman
