Fundamentals of Rocket Science, with Falcon 9

Fundamentals of Rocket Science, with Falcon 9

"Rocket Science is Not Tough. It is marketed to be a tough subject. Let's change the perception!"

This course comes with a promise - any query of yours will be replied and resolved within 24 hours. Sundays included!

Let's first tell you the important highlights.

• This course is based on the premise that it is much easier to learn rocket science when you have a strong context so as to easily relate the concepts being taught. For the course, the context is Falcon 9. Throughout the course, everything you learn will be related to Falcon 9 to see how the concepts are being implemented in real-time.

  
  

• For example, we will cover all the major combustion cycles of engines in separate detailed videos. And then we will describe the working of Merlin Engine combustion cycles. So, this way your foundations will be strong and memorable.

  
  

• On Completion of course you will have a strong understanding of Fundamental concepts of Rocket Science and know how one of the most advanced rocket - Falcon 9 works, in detail.

  
  

• We promise to reply to all your queries within 24 hours.

What the course is all about?

The course is about understanding how rockets work, from basics. All concepts of Rocket Science from Rocket Equation to Control systems to Orbit transfers can be explained just using school level physics. There is no need to unnecessarily complicate the subject.

What makes this course different?

This course is the only course that uses an advanced rocket as a base and then covers all aspects related to it for easy and contextual learning. Think of it in this way, it is easier to understand a working of engine when you have the context of a car or rocket. Learning without any context becomes quite boring (read, tough).

We ensure throughout the course to avoid any jargon and short-forms that are quite common in this subject. This will enable you to "Learn" Rocket Science and not memorize it!

Also, we have tried to not leave any aspect related to this subject. So things like what is shown on YouTube screen during a rocket launch, Droneship, Payload types which many times are skipped in course of Rocket science, has been covered, in detail.

So I will learn both Falcon 9 and Rocket Science?

Yes!!

What are pre-requisites?

• You have basic knowledge of physics - so things like Newton's laws of motion, velocity is obtained by differentiating displacement, shouldn't be new to you.

• A system with internet to watch the videos and complete the course.

• Curiosity to Learn.

What if any topics aren't covered?

We instructors love this subject and would respond to new topic suggestions by creating more content regularly. The course curriculum is not a fixed one.

Format of the course?

95% of the course is in video format. It will have white-board videos, power-point videos and couple of reading materials in pdf formats. Along with it, quizzes and experiments are also included.

Any certificates?

Yes! All students who complete the course will receive a signed certificate.

Anything else?

Go and watch the preview lectures, check out the curriculum. If you are able to comprehend the lectures then go for it and be part of an exciting journey on Rocket Science.
