What will I learn?

This course on orbital mechanics provides practical skills to design and analyse missions. You will learn Keplerian elements, two-body dynamics, efficient Hohmann and bi-elliptic transfers with precise delta-v calculations, handling perturbations including J2 effects and drag, sun-synchronous orbits, coverage and revisit analysis, using step-by-step approaches with trusted constants, data, and basic numerical scripts.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Design orbital transfers: plan Hohmann, bi-elliptic, and plane-change manoeuvres quickly.
  • Manage delta-v budgets: calculate burns, margins, and staging for actual mission profiles.
  • Model perturbations: include J2, drag, SRP, and third-body effects effectively.
  • Analyse ground-track and coverage: forecast passes, revisit times, and sensor footprints.
  • Develop orbit analysis tools: create simple scripts for propagation, period, and delta-v checks.
