    Space Exploration Systems

    Master's (1 year) at University of Leicester

    Our Space Exploration Systems MSc focuses on robotic and human space exploration. The degree is managed by an international joint academic-industrial consortium with partners in France, Italy and the UK Designed for physicists and engineers, this cutting-edge course explores space systems engineering, space instrumentation, the space environment, space power systems (including nuclear power systems) and space mission design. Over the duration of the course, you will acquire the core applied physics and engineering skills required to develop space systems and missions from initial concept through design, assembly and verification, to launch and operations. You will have the opportunity to work with academic and industrial practitioners in three countries, to acquire the knowledge and skills expected by space exploration research groups and the space industry in the 21st century academic and commercial sectors. This course bridges the divide between systems engineering and space and planetary science. For physicists, it provides the systems engineering knowledge required to work in industry. For engineers, it will stimulate an appreciation for space science, and the enabling technologies for robotic and human space exploration and instrumentation which contribute to that science. You will be educated in an international environment, and will graduate equipped with the top-level competency, professional skills and advanced space project experience needed to meet the requirements of the European and international space sectors...

    Spacecraft Engineering

    Master's (1 year) at University of Leicester

    This is for you if ... you want to gain the specialist knowledge, skills and experience to work in interdisciplinary teams designing the complex systems for spacecraft and satellites. This degree is designed to equip graduate engineers with the necessary specialist knowledge, skills and experience to effectively work in and, ultimately, lead interdisciplinary teams on the design of complex, high value engineering systems, used in extreme environments. In Semester 1, you will be introduced to the architecture of spacecraft, while developing your understanding of core propulsion systems and the space environment. You will also develop specialist design skills using space industry standard software, while undertaking professional development activities including leadership and ethics case studies. Semester 2 covers further elements of spacecraft design and manufacture, including advanced materials, control systems and on-board communication hardware. You will also study how spacecraft systems are integrated and packaged. You will undertake a group project, selected by the academic team. This will typically relate to a real world project at Space Park Leicester, such as the development of a small satellite, spacecraft or planetary exploration mission of which the University of Leicester is a partner. For more than six decades the University of Leicester has been at the forefront of space research, including playing a major role in confirming the existence of black holes in our galaxy. Leicester space pioneers have built over 90 instruments launched into space, including instrumentation on six current missions...
