Space propulsion

Introduction in Spacecrafts - Short highlights of spacecraft design including overview on subsystems.

Introduction in Propulsion Basics  - Brief overview on the basics of space rpopulsion (Impulse by exhaust of a mass with a certain high velocity) and key aspects of space propulsion (Specific impulse, thrust, delta v)

Thermal Propulsion Systems - Basic description of cold gas propulsion systems, nuclear thermal propulsion systems and other thermal propulsion systems

Chemical Propulsion Systems - Basic description of solid, liquid and hybrid chemical propulsion systems and subsystems like pressurization systems (pump-fed and pressure-fed), feed systems, storages systems and engine systems / cycles

Electrical Propulsion Systems - Basic description of electro-thermal, electro-static and electro-magnetic propulsion systems

Propulsion System Components - Description of basic equipment needed for the different propulsion systems like pressure regulator, pressure vessels, tanks, valves, pumps

Future Aspects of Propulsion Systems - Introduction in future evolution of propulsion systems as well as overview of current investigations on new propulsion systems

Non-classical Propulsion Systems - Introduction in non-classical space propulsion not considering exhaust of a propellant mass but still allowing the change of orbit

External Guest - Special lecture on propulsion by external guest speaker
