Thanks so much, not many people would do an astronautical section before an aeronautical section. As someone who wants to go into the former, I really appreciate it.

same , looks like there is many 15 years old who is looking to this field ,wish good luck with you guys ,this year i will test whether i will go buisiness or science , so good luck to me too
I know I'm 4 years late but a quick correction: 2:10 (ish) almost all rockets today use liquid fuel on the ground. This is often (but not always) in combination with solid fuels. Solid fuels are almost always (with some exceptions[primarily in some missiles]) used in the ground and not in space. I know that this is designed as in introduction so it was better to keep it more simple but I thought it was worth mentioning.
there is no way to control the speed of which the engine is at, on a solid fuel booster, (i.e once ur SFB is on, it will stay on till the fuel ends, unless you can douse its flames somehow and very physically stop it thru chemical combinations, which is infact, very un-efficient)in a LFB, you can turn the booster on and off at your own will
This is one of the best video ive ever seen, thanks, as a 13years old girl who idnt even know what is aerospace engineering now knows her goal of life, thanks☺☺
Thank you so much for doing this (and all the other) videos, it has helped so much. Especially the last part of the video where you compared Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering!
Yes it’s a good combo. I’m doing mechanical engineering MEng in the U.K. and then. Msc in aeronautical engineering. I’ll also do economics Ma while I work in a large corporate such as airbus. I’ll learn to become a test pilot, i might just make my own company. After I get some experience I’ll just back to uni to get an electrical engineering Msc. So when I’m 30 ish I’ll apply to become an astronaut in the European space agency. Mechanical and then jumping to do one of the aerospace is best combo for space.
@@bobbyweirddick6556 doesn’t a MEng in mechanical eng take 5 years? Then you wanna do a MEng in Aerospace? Wouldn’t you be 30 by then? Also isn’t aerospace just aeronautical and astronautical engineering combined into one degree? After looking at modules and now this video I’m slightly confused.
Thanks, this is a great career path steering tool. You covered a lot but even a little on rovers. I hope in the future you consider putting together a career study path for optics, lasers, spectrometers and other subsystems including weather analytics components. Either way great videos. Thanks again.
I'm in love with astronautical engineering but confused between the subsystems. (Attitude determination & control/ Propulsion/ Structure? ) can somebody explain to me in detail about them?
I’m not gonna go into detail, but basically attitude determination & control = figuring out where you are in space and controlling your vehicles orientation. (For some fun google star trackers, reaction control thrusters, momentum wheels, and inertial measurement units)... propulsion = the pieces of your vehicle that make it zoom in space lol (google electric propulsion, LOX, hypergolic, hydrazine, chemical propulsion etc)... structure = the part of your vehicle that holds the craft together under load (when firing thrusters) or when moving parts are going (solar panels deploying). Structural aspects can also protect against radiation and space debris like micrometeorite impacts.
Actually there are two types of rocket. One using solid state fuel and a rocket that uses liquid state fuel along with it's own liquid oxygen or any kind of oxydizer.
MajorPrep, first thank you so much for making this video. My son is very interested in Astronautical Engineering. He'd like to work in NASA or SpaceX mission control. What colleges would you say have the best programs for this field - perhaps Mechanical Bachelors and then Aeronautical Masters?
Cal tech, university of michigan, purdue, georgia institute of technology, cal tech, stanford, princeton, virginia tech, and university of colorado boulder are just a few of the top aerospace engineering schools that I found on a site that ranks schools based on major.
Thank you so much for making these videos! They are helping a lot, really enjoying your channel Was really interesting watching about aerospace, I am an electrical engineering student(starting 3rd year) and I am interested in aerospace a lot.. Is it possible to continue career going into aerospace systems? Or it is better to keep learning EE? So far I am enjoying circuit design, electromagnetics, communications classes
Am I able to go into astronautics and working with spacecrafts even though I am currently majoring in Chemical Engineering, here in Brazil? I don't really know if this is the major I want but it's quite hard to drop it and start all over again a new one. I am very interested in Astronomy and Astronautics, but don't know if I could work in any fields like that being a Chemical Engineer. Thanks
I don’t know much about Chem E’s in the space sector. But be aware, to have a job in pretty much anything Space (at least in the US) you need to be a US Citizen. That is a big barrier to entry for some.
Point of order! The Space Shuttle used both solid fuel (in the two Solid Rocket Boosters ) as well as liquid fuel for the main engines (RS-25) LOX liquid hydrogen and also the Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS AJ10) used a hypergolic liquid fuel as well MMH/N204.
I'm 15 and I just gave exam of 10th class I'm interested in astronautics so I have a question about this If I do diploma in mechanical engineering so can I get admission for astronautics for degree? Please reply at your earliest
If you mean can you get a master's in astronautics after getting a degree in mechanical engineering then the answer is yes. That's a very common thing to do.
What's the job title of the person who masterminds the rocket or satellite or jet aircraft itself? Are there multiple masterminds involved? Like one mastermind designs the structure, another designs the propulsion system?
How do they do CFD to Rockets in outer space and satellites as it would be much less dense? Would it be possible to specialise in robotics after mechanical engineering and then further specialise in space and robots for exploration in other planets? Is this a very scarce job market?
Justin Chan there are some troubles when doing CFD with very low densities(there is a point where the continuum hypotesis use for the whole of fluid dynamics stops being applyable). The calculation of drag for orbiting spacecraft is not usually the most important of things when calculating a spacecrafts orbit(they are of a much lesser order of magnitude than gravity forces and effects of third objects). However for Low Earth Orbit satellites it is important in order to calculate the stability of the orbit. For this it is common the use of several empirical models that work with the data of previous missions. I hope I ansewered your doubts =) (I'm a 4th year undergraduate student in aerospace engineering in Madrid, Spain)
Im 15 and a highschooler ithink ill go with astronautical, but here in my country there are only certain possibilities to do if you have a degree on mechanical engineering im kind of scared on how would i end up after i focus in this career, and i searched things about aerospace and most of it was negative outcome, but i really love aerospace engineer specially thermodynamics thanks for this i kinda have a positive thinking now on what to do in life
Hello! Just wanted to say THANKYOU so much for that amazing introduction. I kind of have a doubt, i did my undergrad in Electronics and Communication... So I am very much interested in the communication subsystem of spacecraft.... So for my masters Is it okay to move into this field? Pls do reply.. Thankyou
I am now 18 and few months later, I have to decide which major I want to study. I have three interested majors: aerospace engineering(most interested), mechanical engineering(interested), electrical engineering(least interested). I was afraid that if I choose AE, then my future is highly unpredictable and unstable as it is a specialised branch from ME. Besides that, I was obsessed with AE bcz I think what AE learn is awesome and challenging, such as the orbital mechanism, it seems freaking hard😂... And last, I found the projected growth of AE is -2%, what does it means? Hope someone give me convincing opinion, thx.
Lewis Mok the number of jobs required will decrease by 2%, but even this is only in the manufacturing sector in the workshops. Around 25% of aeronautical engineers are above the age of 55, and they will all start retiring around the same age, creating a skill drain. Although the number of jobs are decreasing, the number of people retiring is increasing even faster, creating more demand. Do you get what I mean? So less jobs, but more vacancies. If you get masters, and work in the more "high level work", you will easily be able to get a job.
Lewis, I would say get a bachelor's dual degrees in mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering. The mechanical engineering degree will give you a safety net, while you pursue aerospace engineering.
Lewis if you truly want to be an aerospace engineer and are passionate about it, the rest will fall into place. Same goes for every major really. Don’t let the growth stop you from doing what you want to do. :)
I want some advice. I have wanted to do astronautical since I was little but now that I'm about to go to college, mechanical seems like it provides more job opportunities. I think I want to do aerospace/astronautical but I don't know if it would be smarter to get a BA in mechanical and then a MS in astronautical or just to go with aerospace the whole way. Any advice?
MajorPrep, I am Long Phan, from Vietnam. I am starting the journey at Shoreline CC and going to transfer to a 4 years institution soon. As an international student, I have expected that I will have to do a lot of work to secure a job somewhere around the Earth after graduation. I wonder that if I have achieved the Astro. Engr. degree from the U.S, then where should I go internationally, where is the possible nation that will hire me for works? Thanks
Sorry for the late reply but You need to hold at least a green card to be able to get a job in the space industry especially for the propulsion and avionics of rockets.The best chance might be to work for a nano sat company or any sattelite company.
What are the weedout classes for aerospace engineering? I am assuming they are physics 1 and 2, some of the calc series, chem, thermodynamics and some others. How do you handle these classes and actually do good in them? Is it just not possible?
Rishi Prabhuram they’re incredibly hard. If you study and remain determined you will do well. In terms of other classes, statics, Dynamics, and material properties (called Mechanics of Deformable Bodies at my Institution) are often ones people have never heard of until they get to Uni
courses I had in the first year were: waves & electromagnetism, thermodynamcs, calculus, stats/dynamics, material properties, mechanics of materials (structure analysis etc) linear algebra, python. Then in the second year I had structural analysis & design, aerodynamics (sub and supersonic), differential equations, numerical analysis, control theory.
Guys could you please recommend what American universities offer undergraduate astronautical engineering programs? This is a very rare major, I found only three colleges for now, need some more. Would be very grateful :)
thanks brother.. now i know what is aerospace Eng. i think astronautics is harder than aeronautical. so i should choice aeronautical. please tell about aeronautical that will help me.and decide which is best for me.
I'm very confused about Aeronautical Engineering and Astronautic Engineering... What is good for bachelor degree..? Can I get a job after completing astronautic engineering as an aeronautical sector
The thing is I want to get into either Astro/aeronautics or mechanical engineering but I like more hands on work, I don’t want to be stuck in an office. Any suggestions
Become close with your professors. It is very likely they have been around the block in the industry and they know a lot of people. If they know and like you, they are likely to help you with your career.
kyzrs University of Maryland is only one that comes to mind for me. They have a good Aerospace Program. I’ve competed against a number of UMD design teams.
haha thanks man! My degree is in electrical engineering. I get these videos by interviewing people in these majors and typically those last a while and they go pretty in depth. For this video I talked with an aerospace student for like 3 hours to get everything. Then anything I don't understand I'll just research until I know enough to put together a video that I think gives enough information.
MajorPrep I've thought about electrical engineering quite a bit. If I were interested in creating computer components, would that be more electrical or computer engineering?
Honestly they both could lead you to that career but since you said computer components specifically then I would lean more towards computer engineering.
Hi, Majorprep, I am an international student who currently studying in Candian high school. I am interested in being an aerospace engineer(astronautics) in the future, I am wondering what university and program should I take in Canada? Is it easy to find a job after graduation?
I'm an mechanical engineering student currently in my 3rd year, can I do my masters in astronautical engineering if I don't have BSc degree in aeronautical engineering?
Sir I am from Pakistan and my keen desire to join Space X. I am fsc student .so what sub branch is best for me in aeronautical engineering other than the computer science
Thank you so much sir I have study b tech in aeronautical engineering after it complete which country famous for m tech admission Germany or uk & which exam qualified get admission aboard india
Moon Silence you need all the skills that everyone says you need to be an engineer.. Math skills, quick learner, yada yada yada. However, as a recent Astro grad going into the workforce, I can’t stress to you enough how important it is to be hungry for learning. I always say that anyone can be an aerospace engineer if you’re willing to put the work in. For me, it took a lot of late nights, group collaboration, perseverance, and determination to learn something I didn’t have prior experience with. If you WANT to become a successful engineer bad enough, I believe anyone can do it. You’ll learn what it takes along the way. The key is to always remain vigilant and eager to learn.
Sooooo *aeronautics* has all these things like lift, drag, thrust, propulsion, angle of attack, etc. etc. and then *astronautics* is mostly just based on propulsion... lol. All of it is super dope tho
Some great ones are Cal Tech, MIT, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Embry Riddle, Penn State, Purdue, and many others. Those are just off the top of my head
I did not take classes like that. You just need to make sure you take things like AP Calculus, AP Physics, etc.. those types of classes are very good. (If your high school offers them of course) Absolutely take Calculus if nothing else.
Thanks so much, not many people would do an astronautical section before an aeronautical section. As someone who wants to go into the former, I really appreciate it.

The thing is I want to get into either Astro/aeronautics or mechanical engineering but I like more hands on work, I don’t want to be stuck in an office. Any suggestions
Bres82 • both... engineering allows you to do but hands on work and office so pick what looks the most fun.
Engineering is a balance of both for the most part
thank u so much
Definitely going for astronautics! I might transfer to Texas A&M or UT Austin
I heard Texas A&M is a good engineering school
Hey, I love space and I am planning to study aerospace engineering as an undergrad from next year. Any tips?
Become close with your professors. It is very likely they have been around the block in the industry and they know a lot of people. If they know and like you, they are likely to help you with your career.
where are u planning for study?
I finish 12th.i like to aerospace engineering.but I have no details for this course.entha job ku padicha vacancies eruka bro????
Please make a video on advanced motorsport engineering
Can I pursue aerospace engineering even I take accountancy business and management in senior high school?
Soo manyyy optionnsssssss
Hey just wondering if there are any schools in Maryland or DC that would be good for this type of degree?
kyzrs University of Maryland is only one that comes to mind for me. They have a good Aerospace Program. I’ve competed against a number of UMD design teams.
Thanks a lot
Are you going to do an aeronautical one?
Yep! Haven't planned for when but I will get that soon as I can.
MajorPrep what was your degree? and how do you know all this stuff, cuz each new video it seems like you could have gotten a degree in it 😂
haha thanks man! My degree is in electrical engineering. I get these videos by interviewing people in these majors and typically those last a while and they go pretty in depth. For this video I talked with an aerospace student for like 3 hours to get everything. Then anything I don't understand I'll just research until I know enough to put together a video that I think gives enough information.
MajorPrep I've thought about electrical engineering quite a bit. If I were interested in creating computer components, would that be more electrical or computer engineering?
Honestly they both could lead you to that career but since you said computer components specifically then I would lean more towards computer engineering.
What if you are in a boundary between?
How to chance astronomical engineering after 12th?? Please help
Hi, Majorprep, I am an international student who currently studying in Candian high school. I am interested in being an aerospace engineer(astronautics) in the future, I am wondering what university and program should I take in Canada? Is it easy to find a job after graduation?
Hi, having the same issue, we can work out together about that.
I'm an mechanical engineering student currently in my 3rd year, can I do my masters in astronautical engineering if I don't have BSc degree in aeronautical engineering?
Yes you can!... Most of the times that is considered the best option for future jobs
Which is the best place to do masters in astronautics
Sir I am from Pakistan and my keen desire to join Space X. I am fsc student .so what sub branch is best for me in aeronautical engineering other than the computer science
can you take about avionics engineering, please ?
if i want to become an astronaut the n what should i do ? can you please guide me
what are the fees for Astronautical Engineering per semester
Where can I study for...?
I wish I could like this video twice
Am interested in the propulsion system
i want to know that does aeronautical engineering consists of astronomy in detail
astronomy is not included in AE
@@giannidisumma2948 thank you but I know now.
Where did you do your degree?
In north carolina what colleges i should go to study aerospace engineering
Thank you so much sir I have study b tech in aeronautical engineering after it complete which country famous for m tech admission Germany or uk & which exam qualified get admission aboard india
Sir i completed diploma in civil engineering... Can i eligible to do astronautics by distance education??? Please reply me
is it possible to get a master degree in aerospace after a degree in aeronautics ?
sure thing
What skills do you need to succeed in this major?
Moon Silence you need all the skills that everyone says you need to be an engineer.. Math skills, quick learner, yada yada yada. However, as a recent Astro grad going into the workforce, I can’t stress to you enough how important it is to be hungry for learning. I always say that anyone can be an aerospace engineer if you’re willing to put the work in. For me, it took a lot of late nights, group collaboration, perseverance, and determination to learn something I didn’t have prior experience with. If you WANT to become a successful engineer bad enough, I believe anyone can do it. You’ll learn what it takes along the way. The key is to always remain vigilant and eager to learn.
is taking master in aerospace (astronautics) engineering after studying mechanical engineering possible?
Apostolos Bufidis it depends from which university
Anyone know the best path/ degrees to get. As in should I get a mechanical engineer and then get a degree in aerospace engineering
Sooooo *aeronautics* has all these things like lift, drag, thrust, propulsion, angle of attack, etc. etc.
and then *astronautics* is mostly just based on propulsion... lol. All of it is super dope tho
satellites actually involve a lot more than just propulsion
I want to get into this but I’m not the best with mathematics
I'm going for Astronautics

What universities can offer astronautical engineering ?
Air Force Institute of Technology
Some great ones are Cal Tech, MIT, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Embry Riddle, Penn State, Purdue, and many others. Those are just off the top of my head
Is electronics engineering good major?
I'm from Botswana and I really want to do astronautics.... How do i start please help🙏🙏🙏
I want to become like that one engineer who is specified at ruining necromorph's dinner
Can aerospace engineer be an astronaut? Please answer
Krutik Pathak yea
Do I need to take high school tech classes for colleges to accept me? I hate my schools tech class because they just make tables and birdhouses.
I did not take classes like that. You just need to make sure you take things like AP Calculus, AP Physics, etc.. those types of classes are very good. (If your high school offers them of course) Absolutely take Calculus if nothing else.
i want to be an astronaut pls need some guidance
what are u studying now ?
I forgot u were actually a engineer and not just a comedian
