Phase II (four weeks long) is the conceptual design phase for the mission using the technical research done in Phase I. The fourth week of Phase II will be dedicated to Preliminary Technical Approach Reviews (PTAR), where each group presents their preliminary designs to the class.

Phase III, the last part of the course, comprises the component design phase. Technical Groups will be formed and a Technical Group Leader (TGL) for each will be chosen.

Phase I is four weeks long and is composed primarily of lectures, homework, and group exercises in class.
