Ideas for a research project for my Aerospace dissertation?

[nerd_liv]

TL;DR Summary: I'm an upcoming 3rd-year Aerospace Engineering student preparing to start my dissertation. Unfortunately, I was not allocated to a personal project due to capacity issues and my university has a lack of organisation. As a result, I'm proposing my own project because the rest of the projects they offer are all management which I don't want to do for a whole year. I wanted some ideas on what questions I could study or things I could look at for my research project.

I wanted some ideas on what questions I could study or things I could look at for my research project, preferably something to do with space and space flight. Any ideas are appreciated, I have until the 14th to propose a project!

Thank you.
