About the Course
This course is part 2 of the specialization Advanced Spacecraft Dynamics and Control. It assumes you have a strong foundation in spacecraft
dynamics and control, including particle dynamics, rotating frame, rigid body kinematics and kinetics. The focus of the course is to understand
key analytical mechanics methodologies to develop equations of motion in an algebraically efficient manner. The course starts by first
developing D’Alembert’s principle and how the associated virtual work and virtual displacement concepts allows us to ignore non-working force
terms. Unconstrained systems and holonomic constrains are investigated. Next Kane's equations and the virtual power for...

Learnt so much (almost) without effort. Prof. Shaub's teaching is outstanding.
