In response to the challenges identified, research at TUM in the field of space mobility and propulsion pertains to three main categories:

(a) Research from a system perspective targeting innovation in big space challenges;

(b) Research on Propulsion Systems; and

(c) Fundamental research for innovation at component level contributing to a system performance improvement.

(d) Cross-cutting research in Aerospace and Geodesy at large.

The topics will be pursued with the aim of shaping the future of space.
