COMPETENCES Knowledge and understanding to provide a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and / or applying ideas, often within a research context Students should be able to apply their knowledge and ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader contexts (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study Students should be able to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgments based on information that was incomplete or limited, include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments Students can communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and rationale underpinning to specialists and non- specialists in a clear and unambiguous way. Students should adquire the learning skills to allow them to continue studying in a self-directed or autonomous way. Ability to analyze and solve aerospace problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader and complex contexts Understanding and mastery of the Atmospheric Flight Mechanics (Performances and Static and Dynamic Stability and Control) , and Orbital Mechanics and Attitude Dynamics . SKILLS The student should be able at the end of the course to: Solve celestial mechanics and orbit determination problems Pose and design a space mission using navigation algorithms Analyze the stability and control of aerospace vehicle in atmospheric flight
