Supervisor: | doc. Ing. Miloslav Petrásek, CSc. | |||
Supervising institute: | LÚ | |||
Teaching language: | Czech | |||
Aims of the course unit: | ||||
The aim is to acquaint students with the basic problems of development and use of rockets and rocket engines, focusing on the development of the ability to use this knowledge for their further work and for comprehensively optimal decision-making. | ||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
It is assumed that the student will be able to analyse problems in a broad context, in evaluating the problems from various perspectives, as well as from different levels. | ||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Basic knowledge of space, acquired during the study of physics, basic problems of technical mechanics, including hydromechanics and thermomechanics, knowledge of materials and their properties used in aviation. | ||||
Course contents: | ||||
The student gets acquainted with the environment in which he will use space technology and for which he will design space technologies. He will also have an idea of the construction and function of rockets and rocket engines of various types and purposes, the scope and problems of their use and the basic problems of their preliminary design. | ||||
Teaching methods and criteria: | ||||
The lectures will clarify the basic descriptions of existing devices and the principles of their work, including clarification of the theoretical foundations using both classical methods of mathematical analysis and numerical methods, as well as the possibility of using artificial intelligence. Exercises will then focus on the study, analysis and analysis of selected problems. | ||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: | ||||
The student is evaluated according to the knowledge of the written and oral final exam. The condition for admission to the exam is at least 70% attendance at lectures and fulfilment of all assignments that will be solved within the exercises. | ||||
Controlled participation in lessons: | ||||
The quality of the ongoing training will be checked through control tests during the exercise. The results of these tests will then greatly affect the final evaluation of the exam. | ||||
