This course is an intuitive introduction to rocket science in our everyday lives.

Modern life increasingly depends on technology provided by Earth-orbiting satellites, from detailed weather predictions to broad-band internet and GPS. How are satellites launched into orbit and how do they work once they get there? Why are rockets used to get into orbit and how are they different from airplanes? This introductory course is aimed at a wide non-technical audience and is appropriate for all ages.

This course is intended to be an intuitive introduction to rocket science in our everyday lives. This module will motivate and outline the course.

Fabulous course. Each module starts with a review of previous information which is great for learning the content. I look forward to more offerings like this one, especially in Astronomy.

I enjoyed this excellent overview of satellites. For someone with no background in science or math, it helped my understanding of the rocket launches I love to watch. Thank you!

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead.
