NASA ESMD Capstone Senior Design Course

based on Small Spacecraft Design


Dr. Gershenson has developed his course to be modular in design so that teachers can pick and choose the components that they feel would be best to incorporate into their courses. He has provided his course to us in PowerPoint files for ease of download and use.

This attached file is the presentation that Dr. Gershenson gave at the Faculty Workshop in May of 2009.
