This three-day class is intended for both students and
professionals in astronautics and space science. It is
appropriate for engineers, scientists, and managers trying
to obtain the best mission possible within a limited budget
and for students working on advanced design projects or
just beginning in space systems engineering. It is the
indispensable traveling companion for seasoned veterans
or those just beginning to explore the highways and
by-ways of space mission engineering. Each student will
be provided with a copy of Space Mission Analysis and
Design [Third Edition], for his or her own professional
reference library. View course sampler
Edward L. Keith is a multi-discipline Launch Vehicle
System Engineer, specializing in the integration of launch
vehicle technology, design, and business strategies. He is
currently conducting business case strategic analysis, risk
reduction and modeling for the Boeing Space Launch
Initiative Reusable Launch Vehicle team. For the past five
years, Ed has supported the technical and business case
efforts at Boeing to advance the state-of-the-art for reusable
launch vehicles. Mr. Keith has designed complete rocket
engines, rocket vehicles, small propulsion systems, and
composite propellant tank systems, especially designed for
low cost, as a propulsion and launch vehicle engineer. His
travels have taken him to Russia, China, Australia and many
other launch operation centers throughout the world. Mr.
Keith has worked as a Systems Engineer for Rockwell
International, on the Brillant Eyes Satellite Program and on
the Space Shuttle Advanced Solid Rocket Motor project. Mr.
Keith served for five years with Aerojet in Australia,
evaluating all space mission operations that originated in the
Eastern Hemisphere. Mr. Keith also served for five years on
Launch Operations at Vandenberg AFB, California. Mr.
Keith has written 18 papers on various aspects of Low Cost
Space Transportation over the last decade.
