Learning outcomes
In this event, a self-selected task from the field of space exploration with its typical
Go through project phases. The main aim is to provide practical experience and independent work as well as the necessary basics and special features when carrying out a space project are developed. As part of the processing of the topics in
Concrete solutions are developed in small groups, prototypes are implemented and the results are presented. This is how they learn Students to classify their own work into the performance of a project team and to work with others.
It is not necessary to take part in the “Applied Exploration I” module in advance, as the content of the modules does not build on one another.
Teaching content
The module first provides an overview of the planning and management of a space project. On this
Based on this, the students develop a project plan and their own solution approaches. The following will be discussed in the context of several
A detailed draft was created for the work packages and the development was driven forward. After conducting reviews, production follows Integration of the system or the execution of tests to characterize materials and components. The topics
of the module come from the following areas:
• Utilization of the resources of space and other celestial bodies (In-situ Resource Utilization, ISRU)
• Experimental exploration and lander drives as well as their systems and their validation
• Development of robotic systems for use on other celestial bodies, with a focus on the moon
• Design of infrastructures on other celestial bodies and techniques for their construction and operation
