So... I signed up for classes for my final semester of college today.

[User Unrelated]

Guess what class I got into?

ME-743 Satellite Systems, Dynamics, and Control

"General satellite systems with emphasis on spacecraft dynamics and control. Topics include general satellite information such as types of satellites, missions, and orbits, as well as satellite subsystems. Basic spacecraft dynamics and orbital mechanics topics are covered. Advanced topics include attitude and orbit estimation, and automatic attitude control. Prereq: ME 670 or permission."

should be a big bundle of fun! I plan on injecting KSP into the course wherever possible (projects, homework, etc)

I also plan on being the only person who knows the orbital jargon before the class starts hahaha

The professor had done a bit of work on some of the the systems for the MAVEN satellite that launched for Mars just a few days ago

she's pretty cool, she's already my advisor for my senior project... which is working on a robot for the NASA Robotic mining competition, which is based around mining materials on the moon/mars.

I'll be all space-d out next semester
