Phy 105 Principles of Space Exploration

Lecture: 3 hrs. Credit: 3 hrs.

A study of manned and unmanned space flight. Topics include a history of the American and International space programs, a survey of the physics of spaceflight, including rocket propulsion and space flight dynamics. This course will explore the modern developments in planetary and space science. Intended for non-science majors and students with an interest in science and technology. This course does not fulfill the laboratory science requirement.

Phy 107 Applied Physics
