JNTUK B.Tech Introduction to Space Technology gives you detail information of Flight Introduction to Space Technology R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
Course Objective
The main objective of the subject is to make the students to understand about space mission, types of mission, and different types of space environments. It includes the study of different type’s space vehicles and their launching procedures. The student able to learn atmospheric reentry problems, Orbital mechanics and different types of orbital maneuvers while the space vehicle being launching in the space.
