AI Thread Summary
Aerospace engineering students are seeking presentation topics in rocket science that are both interesting and complex. Suggestions include exploring Hohmann transfer orbits, which provide a foundational understanding of orbital mechanics without delving into complex calculations. Additionally, discussing geostationary orbits and tidal locking, as well as apsidal precession, are recommended as engaging subjects. The importance of choosing a topic that resonates personally is emphasized, suggesting that a lack of interest may warrant reconsideration of the major. Selecting a captivating subject is crucial for an impactful presentation.

Hi
I am studing master of science in aerospace engineering. I should hold an 15 min long presentation on a intressting subject within rocket science. I really don't know what to choose. I have knowledge in Orbital mechanics and relative motions and all the basic and want something more complicated.

What do I choose? please help me

Choose something you are interested in. If there isn't anything you are interested in then you should change majors.
 
What is your audience?
 
Talk about geostational orbits and tidal locking
 
apsidal precession is cool too!
 

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
