Each student gives two talks and writes one seminar paper (ca. 10-15 pages) about the topics of one of them. At least one of the talks must cover scientific results obtained with a satellite that is currently (or was very recently) in operation. The other talk may concentrate on more technical aspects and may introduce a satellite that is not yet in operation. The seminar paper should discuss scientific results, i.e. if one of the talks is more technically-oriented the paper should be written about the more scientifically-oriented topic. Each student is required to be present at more than 50% of the seminars
