Traffic simulations are of immense importance for researchers as well as practitioners in the field of transportation. SUMO has been available since 2001 and provides a wide range of traffic planning and simulation applications. SUMO consists of a suite of tools covering road network imports and enrichment, demand generation and assignment and a state-of-the-art microscopic traffic simulation capable to simulate private and public transport modes, as well as person-based trip chains. Being open source, SUMO is ready to implement new behavioral models or to control the simulation remotely using various programming environments. These and other features make SUMO one of the most often used open source traffic simulations with a large and international user community.

{:de}6. Nationale Konferenz "Satellitenkommunikation in Deutschland"{:}{:en}Sixth ‘Satellite Communication in Germany’ Conference{:}
2019-05-14 - 2019-05-15 | Kameha Grand Bonn, Am Bonner Bogen 1, Bonn, NRW, 53227, Deutschland
The sixth national ‘Satellite Communication in Germany’ conference will be held on 14–15 May 2019, once more at the Kameha Grand Hotel in Bonn. Senior representatives from industry and research will join public funding agencies. They will discuss how satellite communication is an indispensable contribution to communication networks in tomorrow’s world.
In addition to scientific talks, the event will also feature overview talks and panel discussions on the following topics:
• Satellites in the 5G mobile communications network / digitalisation
• Terrestrial-space network
• On-board processing for more flexible networks
• Secure communication in government and commercial networks
• Innovative payload technologies
• Future satellite systems
• Optical communications networks.
There will also be an opportunity to present exhibits during the event that address relevant topics, as well as to give short talks.
We will again provide students and doctoral candidates with the opportunity to present their bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral theses in the form of DIN A0 posters. All participants at the conference will be asked to rate the work presented. A prize for the best contribution will be awarded at the end of the conference.

Please note that all lectures of the 2019 Astroseminar are fully booked. Registration is no longer possible at this point. In case you wish to be waitlisted, please send an email to Rebecca.Bartkowski@dlr.de.
+++ Alternative Date: 15 may 2019 10:00 to 12:00 a.m. at Karl Rahner Akademie, Jabachstraße 4-8, 50676 Köln +++
Predicted by the general theory of relativity, the deflection of light rays in the Sun’s gravitational field was confirmed 100 years ago. Since the astronauts on the Apollo 11, 14 and 15 missions placed laser reflectors on the surface of the Moon, it has also been possible to measure its trajectory precisely and hence verify the Moon’s relativistic equation of motion.
The Earth and the Moon move around their shared centre of gravity, which itself moves in the Sun’s gravitational field. The task of developing a theory of lunar motion that is consistent with observations has occupied astronomers since the earliest days of celestial mechanics. Measuring the Moon’s trajectory by means of lunar laser ranging has enabled scientists to verify the effects predicted by the theory of relativity for the last 50 years.
Professor Hans-Joachim Blome was a research fellow at the Institute for Astrophysics, University of Bonn, and at DLR for many years. As professor at FH Aachen – University of Applied Sciences, he taught and researched at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering until 2016. His work focuses on gravitational physics, the dynamics of space flight and cosmology. Professor Blome is the author of numerous scientific and popular works in these fields, including “Der Urknall”, Blome/Zaun, published in C.H. Beck-Verlag.
The event will be held at the Air Force Conference Centre, Wahn Air Force Base. Information on how to enter the Base complex and the parking facilities will be published ahead of the event on www.dlr.de.
