<b>Narrative</b><br />
Learn about Aerospace Engineering with topics like suborbital spaceflight, orbital spaceflight, space stations, and space ports. Then learn about Astronautics Engineering with topics like delta V (change in velocity), transfer time, crew capsule weight, the Rocket Equation, and finally, a landing on the lunar surface!<br />
<br />
Use real-world space data and real aerospace and astronautics companies, including Virgin Galactic, Reaction Engines, Ltd., Bigelow Aerospace, Spaceport America, and the Boeing Company.<br />
<br />
The textbook is divided into eight chapters and is offered as a free PDF download from our website. This breakdown correlates to four chapters per semester or two per quarter. Thus, defining a workable template for how we manage all of our courses. All teacher lesson plans, slide-show presentations, student worksheets, and other resources, can be found on our website, and of course, provided at no additional cost. Moreover, each chapter deals with a different aspect of aerospace and astronautics, using real-world industries. This hands-on approach also translates to real praxis for the students, because they are actually motivated and animated about school.<br />
