Systems Engineering and Mars mission course for those interested...

[brad.inggs 10]

A course on Systems Engineering with NASA officials has started on a MOOC site called Saylor. (Free)

It teaches you the background and process of Systems Engineering with a side running Mars mission that you have to plan for.

It is however a little late to start for the certificate but the course they say will always be available to do and I guess will be possible to take part again in the future when they run the course again for the certificate.

I think it's a great course to complement the simulator as then you have knowledge of how a mission is put together and then seeing it put into action with Take On Mars.

Here's the link: http://www.saylor.org/courses/sse101/

This mixed with an understanding of Mars and the Mars simulator is an awesome way to enhance your time in the sim I think!

Have fun!
