Uniqueness of Satellite Manufacture Small production runs Extreme operational environments Limited repair/replace options after launch High product cost and importance High cost test environment Highly coupled designs minimize weight and maximize performance but yield high complexity
In this course we will study Classical Mechanics. Particle motion in Classical Mechanics is governed by Newton's laws and is sometimes referred to as Newtonian Mechanics. These laws are empirical in that they combine observations from nature and some intuitive concepts. Newton's laws of motion are not self evident. For instance, in Aristotelian mechanics before Newton, force was thought to be required in order
