AA 107N: How to Shoot for the Moon (DESIGN 187N)

The new space industry has the potential to impact and sustain life on Earth and beyond. For example, emerging space technology can shape the way we design habitats, food, and spacecraft for low-Earth orbit or the Lunar surface, as well as the products we use here on Earth. However, this requires us to take a deeper look at the potential influence on humanity and pushes us to declare our life mission as a lens for what we engineer. The aim of this IntroSem is to help undergraduate students "shoot for the moon" and "declare their mission" via an integration of curriculum from aerospace engineering and human-centered design. In this 10-week course, students will engage with some of life's hardest questions: Who are you?; Why are you here (i.e., on Earth and at Stanford)?; What do you want?; and How will you get there (i.e., Mars or your dream job after Stanford)? In addition, students will pitch new space-related, human-centered technology to potential stakeholders. To give students exposure to actual careers in aerospace design and engineering, mentors from industry will be invited to engage with students throughout the course and provide feedback on design projects. Are you go for launch?

AA 136B: Spacecraft Design Laboratory

Space Capstone II. Continuation of AA136A. Students will work in teams to implement, test, and demonstrate their design of a spacecraft subsystem. Emphasis on manufacturing, system testing, and operations to complete a full design cycle. Prerequisite: AA136A or consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Lee, N. (PI)

AA 146B: Aircraft Design Laboratory

Air Capstone II. Required for Aero/Astro majors. This capstone design class brings together the material from prior classes in a way that emphasizes the interactions between disciplines and demonstrates how some of the more theoretical topics are synthesized in practical design of an aircraft concept. The class will address a single problem developed by the faculty and staff. Students will spend two quarters designing a system that addresses the objectives and requirements posed at the beginning of the course sequence. They will work individually and in teams, focusing on some aspect of the problem but exposed to many different disciplines and challenges. The second quarter will focus on the demonstration of a physical system incorporating features of the design solution. This may be accomplished with a set of experiments or a flight demonstration involving data gathering and synthesis of work in a final report authored by the team.

AA 149: Operation of Aerospace Systems

This course (intended primarily for AeroAstro undergraduate students) provides a connection with the products of aerospace design through the use of tours, guest speakers, flight simulation, and hands-on exposure to systems used by pilots and space mission operators. The class will meet in-person on the first day and for multiple tours at local facilities. For some of the days with guest speakers, we will meet via Zoom. We discuss real-world experiences with operators of spacecraft and launch vehicles, and we hear from pilots of manned and unmanned aircraft. Skills required to operate systems in the past, present, and future are addressed. Students will also develop an appreciation of the effects of human factors on aviation safety and the importance of space situational awareness. Anticipated tours include an air traffic control facility and a spacecraft operations center. Some class sessions will be off campus tours at local facilities; these will require some scheduling flexibility outside of normal class hours.

AA 156: Introduction to Mechanics of Composite Materials

This course covers topics related to fiber reinforced composites focusing on the prediction of elastic properties and failure. Students will learn about the microstructure of fiber composites, how it influences material properties, and how the design of composite materials differs from isotropic materials like metals. Students will practice these topics through several hands-on design tasks. Pre-requisite: AA151
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Sakovsky, M. (PI)

AA 173: Flight Mechanics & Controls

Aircraft flight dynamics, stability, and their control system design; frame transformations, non-linear equations of motion for aircraft; linearization of longitudinal and lateral-directional dynamics; aircraft static longitudinal and lateral/directional stability and control; observability and controllability; PID feedback control; Prerequisites: E15, E105, AA100 and familiarity with MATLAB.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Gao, G. (PI)

AA 179: Orbital Mechanics and Attitude Dynamics

In this class, you will learn how to find your way in space. You will learn coordinate systems and coordinate transformations, so you will know where you are and where you are going. We will study rotational dynamics, rigid body equations of motion, their solutions and spacecraft rotational stability, so if you want to do sightseeing, you will know which direction to look. We will proceed to Newton?s law of gravity and the solution two-body problem, so you will know how to get around places. We will also cover the basics of orbital perturbations, so if someone disturbs your journey, you will not get lost. Finally, we will cover orbital maneuvers, their planning and execution, so if you want to go to multiple places, you will know when to change course, how much time it will take to get to your destination and how much it would cost. In each lecture, we will start with theory, and then proceed with applications supported by numerical examples in Python/Jupyter notebooks. During this cla more »

In each lecture, we will start with theory, and then proceed with applications supported by numerical examples in Python/Jupyter notebooks. During this class, we will be accumulating numerical examples that can be used together to solve progressively more complex problems in orbital and attitude dynamics. Prerequisites: CS106A for Python; ENGR 15, ( CME 100, CME 102) or ( MATH 51, MATH 53); or equivalent classes with permission of the instructor. Recommended: AA 131; if you plan to take AA179 (focus elective), it is recommended to take it before AA131 (required).

AA 190: Directed Research and Writing in Aero/Astro

For undergraduates. Experimental or theoretical work under faculty direction, and emphasizing development of research and communication skills. Written report(s) and letter grade required; if this is not appropriate, enroll in 199.
