This is a project to plan for long-term U.S.-Russian collaborative research in the area of nano- and microsatellite design. The principal investigators are Ramesh Agarwal from Washington University and Valentin Zelentsov from Bauman Moscow State Technical University (MSTU).The PI's current efforts are focused on modernizing the engineering curriculum taught at Washington University - a need emphasized by aerospace industry advisors. The current curriculum focuses on the standard ABET-required courses: aerodynamics, aerospace structures, propulsion, flight mechanics and control, orbital mechanics and aerospace design. Industry advisors have noted, in particular, the need to include the physics, theory and design of micro air vehicles and nanosatellites into the standard courses and to provide hands-on experience along two tracks: aircraft design and spacecraft design.MSTU has a well-established and outstanding nano- and micro-satellite design, build and fly program. It offers a distinctive approach to engineering education by combining academic studies with research, design, and experimental work, and it has been a leader in research, design, and building of satellites in Russia. Working with MSTU will provide an excellent educational opportunity for U.S. engineering students. This project in aerospace engineering research fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Central/Eastern Europe to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.

该项目旨在规划美俄在纳米和微型卫星设计领域的长期合作研究。 主要研究人员是来自华盛顿大学的 Ramesh Agarwal 和来自鲍曼莫斯科国立技术大学 (MSTU) 的 Valentin Zelentsov。PI 目前的工作重点是实现华盛顿大学教授的工程课程的现代化——航空航天工业顾问强调了这一需求。 目前的课程重点是标准 ABET 要求的课程：空气动力学、航空航天结构、推进、飞行力学和控制、轨道力学和航空航天设计。 行业顾问特别指出，需要将微型飞行器和纳米卫星的物理、理论和设计纳入标准课程，并提供飞机设计和航天器设计两个方面的实践经验。MSTU 拥有良好的成熟且出色的纳米和微型卫星设计、建造和飞行计划。 它通过将学术研究与研究、设计和实验工作相结合，提供了独特的工程教育方法，并且一直是俄罗斯卫星研究、设计和建造方面的领导者。 与 MSTU 的合作将为美国工程专业的学生提供绝佳的教育机会。该航空航天工程研究项目实现了汇集美国和中欧/东欧领先专家的计划目标，在平等、互惠和互惠互利的基础上，在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的努力和能力。
