Attitude Control with Momentum Exchange Devices
This course is part 1 of the specialization Advanced Spacecraft Dynamics and Control. It is a direct continuation of the Coursera specialization Spacecraft Dynamics and Control. This first course focuses on nonlinear attitude feedback control using a range of angular momentum devices. The course provides a comprehensive review of prerequisite material. Next it develops equations of motion of a spacecraft with momentum exchange devices such as reaction wheels (RWs), control momentum gyroscopes (CMGs) and variable speed control moment gyroscopes (VSCMGs). The course discusses developing a complex spacecraft simulation with a number VSCMGs and how to approach debugging such complex software. The use of the work/energy theorem is discussed to assist with debugging the simulation by validating angular momentum, energy, changes in momentum and mechanical power. Further, the use of null motion is explored to reconfigure the attitude control devices to avoid singularities and gimbal lock. The redundancy is exploited to seek control solutions that avoid classical CMG singularities. The material covered is taking from the book "Analytical Mechanics of Space Systems" available at https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/book/10.2514/4.105210.

Unearth Needs Fast
Unearth Needs Fast equips you to surface unstated customer needs in high-stakes discovery conversations and prove you understood them. Addressing cognitive gaps like the Expert’s Shortcut and Mind-Reading Bias, the course introduces a rigorous framework for executive interactions. Designed for professionals with experience running customer discovery calls and basic familiarity with CRM tools, call recordings, and professional B2B conversations, you will practice focused discovery using the Mirror-probe-validate loop, then audit your listening through transcripts, paraphrasing, clarifying questions, and talk-to-listen ratios. This dual approach ensures you verify alignment through objective evidence, not instinct. By reframing listening as a measurable discipline, you reduce discovery risk, strengthen CRM accuracy, and prevent the Assumption Ripple Effect. You leave with the tools to separate Customer Signal from Rep Noise and protect deal integrity across the sales cycle.
