Designing a Space Capsule for ISS to Earth transits

[vamsinaruto]

My name is Vamsi and I am from India. I am currently pursuing Ms in ME at University of Houston-Houston-Texas-USA. I have taken a course called "space vehicle design" in which we need to form a team and do a project of our choice. My team project is "Designing a space capsule to carry astronauts and instruments from Earth to ISS in which my role is related to landing mechanism and atmospheric reentry for space capsule. So, I need help regarding this. I have only one month to complete and submit my project.
Any help would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Also will it be helpful if I try the game "Kerbal Space Program" with the limited time available to me.

Welcome to PF!

I adjusted your post and its title to reflect that you want help with designing your vehicle and moved it to the engineering forums where more folks will see it.

Hi Vamsi,

It's great to hear about your project and your interest in space vehicle design. Landing mechanism and atmospheric reentry are definitely important aspects to consider in designing a space capsule for transporting astronauts and instruments to the ISS.

One suggestion I have is to reach out to experts in the field or professors at your university for guidance and advice. They may have valuable insights and resources that could help you with your project. Additionally, you could also try conducting some research online or looking for relevant books or articles that could provide useful information.

In terms of using the game "Kerbal Space Program," it could be a helpful tool for understanding the basics of spaceflight and orbital mechanics. However, since you have limited time, I would recommend focusing more on actual research and guidance from experts to ensure the accuracy and feasibility of your project.

I wish you all the best in completing your project and hope you are able to create a successful design for your space capsule. Good luck!
