Seminar (Teaching)
ECTS: 3 ECTS/CP

Dates:
weekly (starts in week: 1) Wed. 14:00 - 16:00 SFG 2010 (2 Teaching hours per week)

In this seminar, we will study foundational, historical, and philosophical questions of cosmology, of space and time, and of space travel. The syllabus comprises topics and concepts such as key elements of the cosmological standard model, of cosmology as a science and how contemporary research benefits from an awareness of its historical development, and of further epistemological and methodological questions regarding, for instance, the heavy reliance on strong idealisations and extrapolations.


Prerequisites:
Formally, no prerequisite knowledge in either cosmology or philosophy is needed, but a willingness to engage in both is essential.


Learning outcome/learning goals:
• Basic knowledge of cosmology and of the physics of space and time
• Knowledge of basic relevant notions from the philosophy of the natural sciences
• Basic insights into the aims of scientific inquiry and the generation of scientific knowledge

04-M30-MP-2402Design and mechanical analysis of a tether-system from CFRP for acceleration of spacecrafts (in English)

Projektplenum (Teaching)
ECTS: 15 (MSc.PT) / 12 (MSc.SpaceEng)

Aus der Literatur der 1990er Jahre sind Konzepte aus der wissenschaftlichen Literatur bekannt, wie Raumfahrzeuge theoretisch mit Seilsystemen im All auf hohe Geschwindigkeiten beschleunigt werden können, um Reisen zum z.B. Mars erheblich zu beschleunigen. Für die Leistungsfähigkeit solcher Tether-Systeme sind idealerweise Hochleistungswerkstoffe zu nutzen, da diese Systeme ins All gebracht werden müssen, wo sie unter Schwerelosigkeit zum Einsatz kommen. Im Projekt soll zunächst eine Literaturrecherche gemacht werden und im Anschluss ein konstruktiver Entwurf inkl. einer Vordimensionierung unter Einsatz einer FEM-Analyse für CFK.

From the literature of the 1990s, concepts are known from scientific literature on how spacecraft can theoretically be accelerated to high speeds in space using tether systems in order to significantly speed up journeys to Mars, for example. Ideally, high-performance materials should be used for the performance of such tether systems, as these systems have to be brought into space, where they are used under zero gravity conditions. In the project, a literature review is to be carried out first, followed by a constructive design including pre-dimensioning using an FEM analysis for CFRP.
