Space Thermal and Energy Management Systems (STEMS) Fundamentals
"Space Thermal and Energy Management Systems (STEMS) Fundamentals" explores the engineering of thermal control, radiators, and power systems for orbital platforms. These subsystems are vital and increasingly vulnerable to cyber-physical attacks that can degrade performance or trigger shutdowns. The course incorporates cybersecurity practices for telemetry protection, fault detection systems, and command validation to safeguard spacecraft health under threat.
