As part of the Course: Introduction to Space Engineering of Universidad Católica Santa María La Antigua, we had the Guest Lecture “Attitude and Orbital Control Systems(AOCS)” by Prof. Adolfo Chaves Jimenez
Dr. Chaves is conducting a PhD in Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft and is currently a Professor of Introduction to Space System at Space System Laboratory, Electronic School, Tecnologico de Costa Rica (TEC) and coordinator of SETEC Lab – Laboratorio de Sistemas Espaciales
During this remote session, students from Costa Rica and Panama were able to learn about the orbit estimation subsystem, magnetorquers, thrusters and other mechanisms for spacecraft control.
