Short Course Overview
The first part of the course will provide an introductory yet comprehensive review of NASA’s Space Technology Program under the Office of the Chief Technologist; discusses the meaning and role of Technology Readiness Levels; and highlights how technologies can be infused into future mission. In the second phase, various flight system technologies will be addressed, related to supersonic and hypersonic atmospheric entries, aerocapture, deceleration and descent, and aerial mobility platforms for planetary exploration from balloons to planes and other innovative concepts. The Short Course will be concluded with a lively debate, where the sides are represented by programmatic and technical experts with participation from the class.
The Atmospheric Flight Systems Technologies Short Course is organized specifically for IPPW-8, in close collaboration NASA’s Office of the Chief Technologist, various NASA Centers and ESA, and taught by experts in the field with years of practical experience in all aspects related to flight systems technologies.
