SD2905 Human Spaceflight
During the spring semester each year, the course SD2905 Human Spaceflight 7.5 credits is given. An important part of the course is a project work that is carried out in groups of four to six students.
The students are divided into two teams that consist of different subgroups. Together, the groups must solve a major issue or problem. The project work is presented at the end of the course during a conference day.
Below are the different groups' reports from different years.
