​

  • History of Space exploration
  • Circular / Elliptical Orbits
  • Orbit Determination
  • Satellite Component Selection
  • Launch Vehicle Selection
  • Rockets
  • Basic principles using Systems Toolkit (STK) 

There are also many hands-on activities and practice exercises to review concepts covered in the curriculum, in addition to fun ice-breakers and teambuilding activities.

Every camp concludes with a mini-competition scenario to challenge participants on the skills they obtain over the course of the week.​
