Hands-On Mastery Capstone
Design a concept space mission from objectives to orbit and operations. Select orbit/trajectory, estimate delta-v and mission phases, size major timing and maneuver assumptions, identify launch/ground constraints, and compare at least two mission architectures.
Proof Rubric
- mission objectives
- orbit/trajectory model
- delta-v budget
- maneuver timeline
- architecture alternatives
- constraints/risk register
- operations concept
- mission trade-study memo
