About the Course

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 was a very interesting course which I enjoyed with no previous knowledge other than science á levels . The concepts were really well explained using clear animated graphics and even the maths was made as simple as possible.
