Students can choose between either Workshop: Radiative Transfer Modeling or the Summer School: Satellite Systems & Operations

 

Workshop: Radiative Transfer Modeling

(ECTS: 3; SWS: 2)

Lecturers

Dr. Robert Buras

 

 
prerequisites   Basic knowlege in radiative transfer, mathematics, programming
objectives   To understand the basic principles of radiative transfer relevant for the remote sensing of atmosphere and surface from space by developing a complete Monte Carlo radiative transfer model from scratch
contents  

Development and test of a Monte Carlo modelto simulate radiative transfer in the Earth's atmosphere:

- Statistics (basics of Monte Carlo approach)
- Absorption by atmospheric trace gases
- Rayleigh scattering by molecules
- Mie scattering by cloud droplets
- Surface reflection

Summer School: Satellite Systems & Operations

(ECTS: 3; SWS: 2)

Lecturers

Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ulrich Walter
prerequisites   --
contents  

The Institute of Astronautics at TU München offers with its programm „Satellite Systems & Operations“ a compact workshop in Satellite Services and Operations. An exlusive selection of experts talk about orbit mechanic, satellite communication systems, measurement techniques, space law and insurance of satellites. The practical sessions of the workshop, are performed on measurements of RF components and measurements on two of the own avaliable ground stations at Institute of Astronautics.
