Introduction to Project Management in Aerospace Programs

Description

Introduction to Project Management in Aerospace Programs Location: ISAE-SUPAERO Objectives: This module aims to provide an introduction to the aerospace sector, including for the space sector the issues & perspectives in the context of the "New Space", for the aeronautics sector an introduction to sustainable aviation, and finally for both sectors an introduction to aerospace program management. Prerequisites: 3nd year of Bachelor in Science or Engineering Contents: The module consists of four parts: 1. Stakes & perspectives in the NewSpace context Considering the technical and historical evolutions occurred during sixty-five years of space adventure (since Sputnik 1) we will explore the main current programs of access to space and discovery of new missions. The main objective here is to integrate the stakes in terms of public-private complementarity, of spinoff-spinin relations, and also to understand the opportunities that are opening up, associating the "traditional" space with the approach proposed by the new industrialists of the sector. 2. Introduction to Sustainable Aviation In 2019, air transport was responsible for 2 to 3% of global CO2 emissions, to which must be added non-CO2 climate effects such as contrails. Transition scenarios must therefore be put in place. The objectives of this class are: - Understand the specific climate impacts of air transport and the methodologies for evaluating sustainable scenarios (notion of carbon budget) - Discover the different levers of action available to decarbonize air transport - Be aware of the limits of the transition (e.g. availability of energy resources) 3. Introduction to Aerospace Program Management An introduction to project management tools, techniques and approaches, with dedicated focus on aeronautics and space projects and programs. Examples from the space sector, to enable review and practice some very key concepts. Session one is intended to first review standards, and professional baselines (generic standards and aeronautics and space standards for project management). 4. Visits Several visits are scheduled: industrial visits (AIRBUS DS) and museums (Aéroscopia, Cité de l’Espace). Duration: 18 contact hours Academic Emmanuel Zenou Coordinator: Bibliography: NASA Space Flight Program and Project Management Handbook NASA systems engineering handbook Aircraft Design Project (Lloyd Jenkinson, Jim Marchman) Aviation Project Management (Dennis Lock and Triant G.
