该资格证书可以在三年内完成，从第一个模块开始最多需要七年。
The qualification provides opportunities for you to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding, qualities, skills and other attributes in the following areas:
Knowledge and understanding
On completion of this master's degree, you will have knowledge and understanding of:
- The space environment within the Solar System
- The design and operation of space-based instrumentation
- The aspects of space mission design and operation relevant to scientific applications
- Scientific debates within planetary and space sciences, based on current research findings
Cognitive skills
On completion of this master's degree, you will be able to:
- Critically evaluate methodologies of scientific measurement in the space environment
- Select and apply appropriate mathematical methods for modelling and analysing science and engineering data obtained in the space environment
- Critically evaluate current research in space and planetary sciences and associated areas
- Analyse and address complex technical situations through the application of appropriate scientific, engineering or computing techniques
Practical and/or professional skills
On completion of this master's degree, you will be able to:
- Plan and carry out a scientific investigation using data from space-based instrumentation
- Plan, manage and conduct a research project in space science or space technology
- Demonstrate a professional approach to practice (proficiency in skills relevant to employment or research in the space sector, e.g. teamwork, showing evidence of the use of initiative and personal responsibility)

You should note that the University’s unique study rule applies to this qualification. This means that you must include at least 60 credits from OU modules that have not been counted in any other OU qualification that has previously been awarded to you.
Teaching, Learning and Assessment Methods
You will learn through two interrelated methods. Firstly, using a range of specially written study materials, case studies, original texts, study guides and assignments, and through a range of multi-media material. Secondly, you are allocated a tutor who is your first and main point of contact.
Your tutor answers queries on study materials, grades and comments on your work, and, depending on which module you are studying, may arrange online tutorials. You are also encouraged to participate in online discussion forums for the module(s) you are studying. This gives you a chance to share and resolve issues with fellow students, as well as with tutors and the module team.
Formative assessment in the form of informal activities and self-assessed questions (SAQs) allows you to assess your own progress and understanding. Formal assessment of the knowledge and understanding components of the programme is achieved by a series of tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) – usually three for each 30-credit module.
These assignments are marked and assessed by your tutor. They are central to the teaching of the module since they allow you an opportunity to display your knowledge and understanding. This will enable tutors to identify any issues concerning either and provide appropriate feedback.
Although assignments are usually undertaken on an individual basis, some modules have group-based assignments that use online discussion forums. Modules may also include computer-marked assignments or examination papers. Currently, most modules within the technology management programme include an end-of-module assessment, in place of an examination.
该计划中的认知技能是通过计划模块内的一系列活动来培养的。案例研究和其他有关技术管理方式的说明将使您能够参与技术管理方面的问题并培养适当的分析、评估和解决问题的技能。模块将正式描述技术管理中使用的一系列方法和技术，并鼓励您使用它们并反思它们的用途。
在完成理学硕士学位的最后一个模块（基于您选择的研究项目的硕士论文）时，有广泛的空间来开发对技术管理的批判性方法。
所有作业中都会体现出技能水平的证据，导师会对技能证据以及所展示的知识和理解水平进行评论。
进入技术管理课程时，您需要具备技术管理、技术专业或综合管理和/或行政方面的经验，并且对组织和管理的技术层面特别感兴趣。因此，您应该已经掌握了许多关键技能。该课程将允许您展示这些技能并进一步发展它们。
学习材料和导师的支持将有助于培养您管理自己学习的技能。例如，许多模块都要求您主要在自己的指导和主动性下工作。您需要反思自己的表现，确定自己的学习需求，然后制定适当的学习策略。
此资格与航天领域的科学和技术职业直接相关。它与获取、处理和解释太空仪器所获数据的职位尤其相关。
