Content Description

Plan the future on and off Earth and meet our team

Living and working in space, research stations on the moon and on Mars are goals that are already opening up many opportunities on Earth. The experiences with the extreme extra-terrestrial living and working - but also planning - conditions can be used as a case study for pressing terrestrial questions. Extreme conditions are also increasing on Earth. The world is changing and we see that every day. Extreme weather and climatic conditions, environmental destruction, limited supply and access to the resources of planet Earth, sustainable building, optimization of land use are just a few of the buzzwords of our time.

At this event you will get to listen to an Virtual Expert Talk with Brent Sherwood from Blue Origin, and the Academic Director Dr. Ing. Sandra Häuplik-Meusburger. The TU Team will present the most important facts about the program and will be available afterwards on campus.
