Course content
The course is a concentrated practice/experimentally oriented course.
Exact dates will be decided as soon as possible. The course contains i.a. one week of laboratory exercises and experiments at the Andøya Space Center, usually in mid June. It is based on the course TTT4234 Space Technology I, that is required for uptake.
The uptake is limited due to existing available resources at the Andøya Rocket Range.
The exercises at Andøya, the launch of a student rocket with sensors, comprise the integration of the rocket payload, soldering and calibration of the sensors, telemetry set-up, the launch itself, download and analysis of the in-flight measured data.
In addition to the laboratory exercises and the report from Andøya, the course contains a full day seminar, an essay and an exercise report that shall be written by the student.
The course is given, provided necessary funding. In addition, there is a minimum number of students set to 8 by Andøya Space Center, and the maximum number of students is limited to 24 due to limited capacity at Andøya Space Center. A personal fee to be covered by the students will apply.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
The candidate has
- knowledge on rocket launch after participating in a launch
in practice
- detailed knowledge within at least one of the following
areas:
Rocket technology
Telemetry
Payload
Experiments
Skills:
The candidate can
- describe the procedures for a rocket launch
- describe the main characteristics for a rocket in-flight
(height, range, centre of gravity, centre of mass, drag, spin, super and sub sonic flight)
- describe the main principles of telemetry (carrier
frequency, antennas, tracking)
- describe the principles of the sensors that are launched
as payload in the rocket, and analyse the data received from these.
General competence:
The candidate understands how a rocket launch campaign is performed, which elements to take into account, and which calculations that are needed, in addition to the security measures to consider.
Learning methods and activities
The main part of the course is a concetrated, full time activity at the Andøya Space Center. In addition comes preparations and report writing etc. Individual reports over projects, exercises and laboratory exercises are compulsory. Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The portfolio includes a project/essay with 30%, exercises 40% and a final project report after the stay at Andøya 30%. The results for the parts are given in %-scores, while the entire portfolio is assigned a letter grade.
Further on evaluation
If the exam is to be repeated, the whole course needs to be taken.
