Rocket Propulsion Course
This course teaches rocket propulsion from basic principles to complete mission designs. You will learn delta-v budgeting, engine sizing, propellant selection, staging, and safety measures to confidently assess, size, and validate real launch vehicle ideas with solid reasoning and documentation.

flexible workload of 4 to 360h

What will I learn?
Gain practical skills to design small orbital launchers using core principles. Master orbital mechanics, mission delta-v calculations, thrust and engine selection, propellant choices, stage designs, and mass estimation. Also learn to document assumptions, computations, and references for clear and review-ready propulsion decisions.

Your classes are perfect. I got the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow several topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... I appreciate everything you do, I've already recommended you to others...
