Some people have already been to the moon, and astronauts are constantly working on the International Space Station (ISS). Who knows, it may even be possible for humans to land on Mars in this century. And maybe one or the other of you will be one of them?

Space travellers have to consider a lot of things in order to get into space safely and back again. They need to know what the human body can withstand in space. And it is very important that they are well versed in technology and the laws of physics in space. How does a rocket launch work? What is dangerous about a spacewalk? And how do I land safely on a planet?

We will investigate these questions with experiments in the Audimax - our space laboratory. After the lecture, you will be fit for astronaut life!
