Educational Program "Rocket and Space Technology" focuses on training the elite who dictate the rules beyond the atmosphere. Today, a rocket engineer is a Space Infrastructure Architect and Ballistics Master. You are the one who tames fire and turns it into escape velocity. Your activity targets will be multistage launch vehicles, satellite platforms, interplanetary stations, and ground-based systems, where every calculation is a step toward the stars.
The goal of study is to turn you into a "master of orbits" capable of designing systems that withstand vacuum, radiation, and immense g-forces. We will teach you to calculate flight trajectories, design liquid and solid rocket engines, and create intelligent stage separation systems. This is a combination of fundamental physics with the technologies of tomorrow. You will learn to design hardware that opens new worlds, becoming part of the team building spaceports and lunar bases.
Your superpower: In a world where space is becoming the new market, you will possess Propulsion Expertise and Orbital Mechanics — skills to build vehicles that operate in absolute zero. Your professional arsenal will include:
- Rocket System Integration: designing complete rocket architecture — from fuel tanks to the payload fairing.
- Gas Dynamics & Heat Transfer: modeling processes in combustion chambers and protecting vehicles during atmospheric reentry.
- Spacecraft Navigation: developing satellite orientation algorithms using star trackers and magnetic fields.
- Additive Aerospace Tech: using metal 3D printing to create ultralight and durable components for spacecraft.
Our graduates are lead designers at Yuzhnoye Design Office, engineers at private space companies (such as Firefly Aerospace), developers of satellite systems, and rocket complex operations experts, where the ability to overcome Earth's gravity is highly valued.
Objects of professional activity for bachelor's graduates are launch vehicles; spacecraft; rocket engines; launch complexes, as well as computer modeling of flight dynamics and manufacturing technologies for rocket structures.
