Lernergebnisse
At the end of the module, the students will understand the physical properties of Near-Earth Objects and their threat potential for Earth. They will further have gained an understanding of the design processes behing NEO-deflection missions, as well as for the political and organizational boundary conditions for such an operation. They will also have gained insight into the technical means of NEO observation and deflection.
Voraussetzungen
Basics of spacecraft technology and astrodynamics.
