SUMMARY:Cislunar Exploration: Challenges and Opportunities – Online Short Course
DESCRIPTION:Through May 11\, Four instructors convene this class because current USA / international / commercial mission plans\, both crewed and uncrewed\, will be challenged by multiple new hurdles\, including regulatory\, habitat\, mining\, and navigation and positioning. This course aims to present a few key challenges related to the return to the Moon and beyond that are often sidelined. It is intended for students and professionals seeking to understand select challenges of the new space era and what the return to the Moon truly entails. The course is particularly suited to those in the broader aerospace community having limited familiarity with cislunar space and the new commercial space sector. \nEvery Monday and Wednesday\, April 27 – May 11 (5 Lectures/Classes\, 10 Total Hours)\, the class will meet live 13:00-15:00 EDT | 17:00-19:00 UTC | 09:00-11:00 HST\, but all sessions will be recorded and available for replay; course notes will be available for download. \nWe are going back to the Moon… learn about the meaning of this endeavor for spacefaring countries\, and how sustained presence on another celestial body is more than just a technical challenge. \nAll students will receive an AIAA Certificate of Completion at the end of the course.

SUMMARY:Spacecraft Rendezvous and Proximity Operations
DESCRIPTION:Online short course on Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO)\, critical for crew transfer\, in-space assembly and space debris removal\, among other uses. Instructor is Pradipto Ghosh; 12 classroom hours / 2.4 CEU-PDH; online via Zoom with replays available. Students will receive Certificates of Completion from both AIAA and Johns Hopkins University. \nTopics covered include RPO Concept of Operations (ConOps)\, relative orbit design\, maneuver calculation\, and elements of navigation. The objectives of this course are to develop the general principles governing spacecraft proximity operations\, rendezvous\, and docking. Students will be introduced to topics such as near and far range rendezvous\, natural motion circumnavigation\, safe relative motion\, phasing\, and rendezvous trajectory design. After completing this six-week course\, students will be able to conceptualize the operations of rendezvous and prox-ops missions such as the International Space Station (ISS) resupply\, crew transfer\, extra-vehicular activities\, and on-orbit assembly/refueling. A basic knowledge of Newtonian Mechanics and Ordinary Differential Equations is expected.

SUMMARY:Launch Falcon 9 / CAS500-2 & Others
DESCRIPTION:Launch window 23:59 May 2 – 00:39 May 3 PDT | 01:59-02:39 CDT | 20:59-21:39 HST for ride-share of multiple satellites including first spacecraft of Wichita State University\, Solar Neutrino Astro-Particle PhYsics (SNAPPY) 3U Cubesat\, a test and background-measurement detector being put in polar orbit to explore the fusion core of the Sun and study particle physics of solar neutrinos. Funded by NASA NIAC with US$3M+ and led by WIchita State University\, also participating are South Dakota State U\, Univ. of Michigan\, Univ. of Minnesota\, NASA MSFC and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. A launch / deployment party is planned. \nAlso riding are: \n* CAS500-2 (KASA\, South Korea)\nThe South Korean CAS500-1 and -2 satellites will image the Earth in pan-chromatic and multi-spectral modes using the AEISS-C (Advanced Earth Imaging Sensor System) payload\, with a ground resolution of 0.5 m in panchromatic mode and 2 m in color mode. \n* Pelican-7\, 8 & 9 (Planet Labs)\nPelican is a constellation of very high resolution imaging satellites\, designed and manufactured by Planet Labs. The commercial constellation will consist of 32 SmallSats with potential for further expansion\, and aims to provide improved spatial resolution and response times over Planet’s existing SkySat and Dove constellations.
