What it is about

The module provides an introduction to Space Resource Utilisation (SRU). You will learn which products from space resources are possible, how the value chain is structured, and which technical as well as economic aspects are relevant for the exploration, extraction, processing and distribution of resources. In the end you will be able to assess the necessity and feasibility of SRU and to develop concrete system concepts for its realisation.

Analyse and evaluate the necessity and feasibility of SRU
Develop concrete systems for realising SRU

Assessment

Written examWritten testProject workReportPresentationOral examPortfolioListening comprehension

The module examination is a written exam (90 minutes). You will reproduce the theoretical and practical contents without aids; for calculations a calculator may be permitted if necessary. The examination requires own formulations and calculations (e.g., for the design of a system architecture) as well as marking of given multiple-choice answers. In addition, voluntary, semester-long short tests (approx. 5 minutes, multiple-choice) are offered: Those who pass at least 70% of the tests receive a bonus of 0.3 on the module grade; a worsening of the grade is not possible.
