    Systems Engineering & Engineering

Skill Level: Open to all.

A more application-based course than APPEL-SMSDO, this lab is designed to provide real-life experience for conceptualizing and designing space missions. The lab provides an integrated view of space mission design and operations, from conceptual design and requirements definition through spacecraft design, development, test, and launch to mission operations concepts and ground infrastructure design.

This course is designed for NASA’s technical workforce, including engineers, systems engineers, and project personnel involved in creating overall mission architectures, detailed designs, and the operation of systems.
