Seminar

(ECTS: 3; SWS: 2)

prerequisites		--
objectives		Seminar: To learn how to present scientific results to an audience; how to design slides, structure a presentation and defend the content in a discussion; to make contact with researchers and up-to-date scientific challenges. Project: To practice team work, report writing and presentation techniques. Further the students shall understand the components of a satellite mission design proposal and apply their gained knowledge from previous ESPACE lectures. Students should also learn how the software STK works and be able to utilize it for similar tasks.
content		Seminar: Each gives a 25 minute presentation on a different up-to-date scientific topic. The presentations are spread over the lecture period. During the preparation of their presentation, students are guided by a supervisor who gives feedback and provides information material (in the form of scientific articles, books, slides, etc.). Project: In groups, the students work out a proposal for a satellite mission. The proposal should contain scientific objectives and mission design such as orbit, payload, and spacecraft. The software Satellite Tool Kit (STK) is also applied. The proposal of each group is defended in a final presentation.
literature		Mainly scientific publications; will be distributed during the course
