This course offers a detailed look and the launch vehicle payload integration process,  starting at the beginning of a space mission and continuing through launch, with a detailed look at the expendable launch vehicle (ELV) payload and mission integration process.

The course educates the attendee on deliverables, schedules, critical  interfaces, requirements and verification management, and describing the roles and responsibilities required of key individuals and organizations involved in a spacecraft  project. The mission integration systems engineering process is explored and the launch campaign including ground processing and critical events leading up to launch are discussed. Understanding and managing the critical  interfaces, data, deliverables, schedules and requirements that the successful integration manager must implement are explored in detail.

This course explores the technologies required for the successful design of moving mechanical assemblies in the space environment and offers a detailed look at many of the key components common to most mechanisms, such as ball bearings, motors and feedback devices. With this background, the high-performance materials required for operation in space are reviewed, emphasizing compatibility with the space environment and offering some background in the metallurgy, chemistry, and fabrication of those materials. Examples of some of the many types of mechanism will be included for illustration.

iNARTE, (The International Association for Radio, Telecommunications and Electromagnetics) is an independent, non profit association which provides certification to qualifying individuals in the fields of Telecommunications, Unlicensed Wireless Systems Installation, Electromagnetic Compatibility/Interference, Electrostatic Discharge Control., and Product Safety.

iNARTE, Inc. was founded as a non-profit membership/certification organization in 1982.  With the advent of deregulation and the Federal Communications Commission "encouragement" for private industry to establish certification standards to fill the licensing void, iNARTE initiated and developed a comprehensive certification program for telecommunications engineers and technicians.

Dr. Van Doren received the BSEE, MSEE, and PhD degrees from the University of Missouri- Rolla (UMR) in 1962, 1963, and 1969, respectively. He spent two years in the military as a Lieutenant with the Army Security Agency and then worked with Collins Radio Company as a Microwave engineer for three years in the late 1960s. He has worked as a Professor of Electrical Engineering at UMR for the past 33 years. He is now a Professor Emeritus at UMR.

Tom has a passion for both learning and teaching. At the University of Missouri-Rolla, he leads research projects, supervises graduate students, teaches short courses, and contributes significantly to a wide range of projects. He has initiated several new courses and education projects that have been highly successful.
