ME 4780 - Missiles guidance systems and rocket design
This course covers the history, analysis, flight mechanics, and design of modern rockets and missiles. A historical perspective of the significance and design practices used to develop rockets and missiles are explored. Each of the five major rocket and missile components are discussed and analyzed separately and then combined to form a flight system. Mechanics of flight and basic aerodynamics are covered in order to develop a six degree of freedom flight simulator. A final project occurs to allow exploration of a design and simulation of a full rocket delivering a payload or a tracking missile.
