Spacecraft Engineering

Requirements, budgets, margins and review gates: the discipline holding the subsystems together.

Generating, storing and distributing power, from array sizing to end-of-life margin.

Keeping every component inside its band when radiation is the only path for heat to leave.

Flight computers, data buses, and the radiation-driven choices that make them unusual.

Antennas, transponders, link budgets, and the ground segment on the other end.

Knowing where you are, where you point, and how to change either.

The spacecraft propulsion subsystem as an integrated design problem.

Carrying launch loads, then deploying reliably exactly once, in vacuum.

Closing the loops on air, water and waste for human spaceflight.

Designing a system nobody can reach, and quantifying the odds it survives.
