Learning Outcomes

The module imparts knowledge on the essential basics of problems in planning and operating manned space missions. In this connection, the technical aspects as conception and operation of space habitats and the medical and psychological prozesses of adaption to the space environment are discussed. This interdisciplinary approach shall enable students to understand the complexity of manned space missions in terms of technical, medical and psychological aspects and give them the skills to support the design of human spacecraft.

Content

Technical Aspects of Human Spaceflight: - History of manned spaceflight - Capabilities and boundaries of human in space - Selection and training of astronauts - Orbital equipment - Space stations and manned spacecraft - Habitats for Moon and Mars - Exploration stategies and mission architectures Space Psychology: - Microgravity and changed day-night-cycle as specific stress factors of the space environment - Physiological problems of adaption to zero-gravity (hear circular flow system, vestibular system, muscle and bone system, space sickness) - Effect of microgravity on congnitive and psychomotor functions and performance - Psychological effects of isolation and confinement on performance - Mental stat and sozio-psychological processes within astronaut crews - Psychological aspects of selection, training and support of astronauts
