Elektrische Raumfahrtantriebe

What it is about

You will gain an overview of electric space propulsion systems, their operating principles, applications and important physical phenomena. In the end you will be able to distinguish different propulsion types, calculate relevant performance quantities and roughly pre-design an electrical drive as well as its main components.

What you will be able to do

• Recognize and sketch essential electric propulsion types
• Name and describe important physical phenomena
• Apply relevant equations to determine performance parameters
• Name main components, describe operating principles and determine design parameters
• Discuss technical implications of modern developments

What the module consists of

• VorlesungConveying the theory of electric propulsion systems and their applications; multimedia-supported and interactive

Teaching method

• Interactive LectureFor illustrative conveyance of fundamentals, physical phenomena and design principles; promotes discussion and understanding
