The Astronautics Group has established itself as a leading centre for the training of engineers in the space industry in Europe.Our short one-week course in space systems engineering in Southampton has provided training for professional engineers in the spacecraft manufacturing and associated industries since 1974.To date approximately 4100 personnel have attended, from companies world-wide. The expertise of the Astronautics group is complemented by that of engineers from the Surrey Space Centre, Airbus DS, RAL Space, DLR-GSOC and the ESA.The group have delivered similar courses for the ESA Training Department, at ESTEC in the Netherlands as well as courses at the ESA Headquarters in Paris, ESOC in Darmstadt, ESRIN in Italy, CDTI in Madrid and Airbus DS in the UK.
This course presents an integrated approach to the total systems design of spacecraft by providing insight into how the various component subsystems function and interface with one another. It has proved to be of value to a broad range of companies that are involved with spacecraft, including spacecraft manufacturers, insurers and satellite operators from many different countries world-wide.
