Description
This course will help you understand the nature of orbits and trajectories at a fundamental level.
I focus on the concepts you need to describe and define orbits. I use Earth as an example, but the concepts apply equally well to other bodies, such as Mars or the Sun. My approach is light on math. I also cover key terminology that will help you make sense of this jargon-rich field.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner space or rocket scientists
- Those interested in living or working in space
- People who would like to develop a broad and more intuitive understanding about how orbits work
