“Planetenentstehung durch Staubexperimente im schwerelosen Labor verstehen” (auf Deutsch) by Dr. Rebekka Grellmann
Planeten entstehen, indem winzig kleine Staubkörnchen miteinander kollidieren und so langsam zu großen Klumpen heranwachsen. Doch wie genau funktioniert das eigentlich? Um diese spannende Frage zu untersuchen, führen Wissenschaftler*innen Staubexperimente unter Schwerelosigkeit – beispielsweise im Weltall – durch. Wie das genau funktioniert und was wir bisher wissen, erfahrt ihr in diesem Vortrag.
” The German Space Agency: from scientific ideas to actual space missions” (in English) by Dr. Maude CharmetantSpace missions do not start with rockets, but with ideas. In this talk, we will take a look behind the scenes of the German Space Agency and explore how scientific projects are selected, funded and followed from proposal to reality.
