Description: We are now in the new era in which we have equal opportunities to start our own agency to explore space. This course will provide the overview of past, current and future space missions, which will help us gain critical views to the current developments in this area. The materials we will cover include (not limited to) scientific priorities in planetary science over the next decade, history of space missions, their scientific and engineering outcomes, budget and funding opportunities and plans for future missions. The final project will be designing your own space mission that includes expected outcomes and estimated budget. This class is focused on science, not on engineering design. NOTE: Juniors and Seniors in the natural sciences and engineering are required to enroll in EES 229. Students cannot take both EES 129 and EES 229.
Offered: Fall Spring Summer
