Objectives
The course shall provide knowledge about systems, subsystems and their integration into space- and aircraft, and how the systems typically are categorized according to common reference standards.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course students shall be able to:
1. relate different systems and their functions in aircraft and spacecraft
2. apply the systems’ functions and features for various cases of problem solving
3. detail forthcoming generations of a particular space or aircraft system
4. categorize space- and aircraft systems according to reference standards, and
5. relate the course content to sustainable development and environmental issues
Course content
A review of aeronautical systems, their typical categorization and functions. A review of spacecraft systems and their functions including structure and mechanics subsystem, propulsion subsystem, attitude control subsystem, electrical power subsystem, thermal control subsystem, telecommunications subsystem, command and data handling subsystem, and guidance, navigation and control.

A student who has a certificate from MDU regarding a disability has the opportunity to submit a request for supportive measures during written examinations or other forms of examination, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Examinations at First-cycle and Second-cycle Level at Mälardalen University (2020/1655). It is the examiner who takes decisions on any supportive measures, based on what kind of certificate is issued, and in that case which measures are to be applied.
Suspicions of attempting to deceive in examinations (cheating) are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, and are examined by the University’s Disciplinary Board. If the Disciplinary Board considers the student to be guilty of a disciplinary offence, the Board will take a decision on disciplinary action, which will be a warning or suspension.
