Courses
I teach the following courses in the Orbital Mechanics & Satellite Applications areas:
| SAR: Principles and Applications: Fall 2010 |
| ASE 389P.9 / GEO 391: Synthetic aperture radar imaging for Earth remote sensing, including image formation concepts and interpretation, radar interferometry processing and strategies, surface deformation, topographic mapping, and polarimetric applications. This is a multidisciplinary course regularly attended by ASE, ECE, and GEO students. |
| Satellite-Based Navigation: Fall 2010 |
| ASE 372N: Satellite-based navigation systems, with focus on the Global Positioning System, ground and space segments, navigation receivers, satellite signal coordinate / time systems, denial of signal, differential techniques, GPS data analysis. This course provides an intro to GPS and is regularly attended by both undergraduate and graduate students. |
| Applied Orbital Mechanics: Spring 2010 |
| ASE 366L: Selected topics in satellite motion and satellite applications, orbital coordinate systems, time, rendezvous and intercept, interplanetary trajectories, perturbing forces and perturbed trajectories. |
| Spacecraft Dynamics |
| ASE 366K: Basic satellite and spacecraft motion, orbital elements, coordinate systems and transformations; basic three-dimensional spacecraft attitude dynamics. |
