Master of Science in Space Systems Engineering

Program Overview

As a student in the online space systems operations degree program, you’ll learn from top subject-matter experts and practitioners from across the space community, including the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab. Delve deeper into the aerospace industry and study under professors and mentors who are involved with the New Horizons Pluto mission or the new Dragonfly mission.

You will study the formal systems engineering method, first as applied to entire space missions, and then with ever-increasing technical rigor, as applied to flight and ground systems and subsystems. The program provides in-depth opportunities to dissect and analyze case studies of current topics drawn from relevant real-world programs like the use of AI and practical space systems operations.

Additionally, unique to our program, students learn to design spacecraft, including thermal control, power, communication systems, and more. You will be prepared to:

  • Demonstrate proficiency in applying the fundamental principles of systems engineering to the analysis and definition of space systems.
  • Demonstrate knowledge and technical proficiency to analyze and create a concept for a space mission and an integrated design of the spacecraft that executes that mission.
  • Through the use of test equipment In a laboratory environment, apply critical systems thinking skills to the demonstration and application of a hands on integration and test experience of the major subsystems of a benchtop spacecraft, to include the execution of and subsequent data analysis of a student developed and implemented test plan.
  • Select technical elective courses to tailor your degree and gain the knowledge that works best for you.
