Course Objective	太空動力學是質點動力學與剛體動力學於太空領域的應用，課程涵蓋軌道力學(質點動力學的應用)與衛星姿態動力學(剛體動力學的應用)，課程目的是要建立學生關於太空工程的基本軌道知識，提供後續學習太空專業課程所需的力學基礎。 Space mechanics is the application of both particle and rigid-body dynamics in space field. The course contents cover orbital mechanics (application of particle dynamics) and satellite altitude dynamics (application of rigid-body dynamics). The main focus is for the students to build a fundamental mechanics knowledge about orbital engineering for the further development in related fields.
