Beschreibung

This project invites bachelor aerospace engineering students to delve into planetary science by analyzing processed density readings from the LADEE Neutral Mass Spectrometer (NMS). The focus is on understanding the thin veil of gases around the Moon by investigating how the exosphere varies with spatial and temporal conditions. Through hands-on experience in Julia programming and data analysis, students will not only visualize these variations but also gain insights into the instrument’s design and measurement techniques. The project aligns with the broader goal of enhancing students’ capabilities in scientific computing, data interpretation, and professional communication, thereby preparing them for more advanced research challenges in their bachelor’s theses.

Voraussetzungen

• Interest in numerical modelling and data analysis.
• Previous programming experience; willingness and ability to learn Julia.
• Experience with or willingness to adopt reference management tools for proper citation.
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in small groups and communicate results clearly.
• Good command of the English language
