Knowing what you want to accomplish with launching a satellite, one of the early concerns is what kind of an orbit do you want to chose? I briefly discuss the decisions that mus be made, and what some of the ramifications are for choosing one over the others.


In this series of classes I will discuss the basics of satellite design. The goal is to understand all of the basic systems in satellites, to the point of having a starting point to build a satellite, such as a Cubesat. Feel free to talk with others working their way through on my discord, https://discord.gg/qnn4bmM , in the #satellite room.
