At the end of this course you will be able to apply the space mission analysis and design processes, principles, tools and techniques to develop a viable mission concept by:
✦Defining high level mission goals and objectives
✦Deriving system and subsystem requirements
✦Identifying design solution options and drivers
✦Applying design trade-off tools, techniques and methodologies to select specific solution options
✦Describing the wider impact of design solutions across the rest of the mission architecture (cost, schedule, risk, integration and test, launch, and operations)
