17 May, 4 pm, Cosmos Hall

After the successful flight of the Artemis 2 mission, plans for the construction of a lunar base now have a starting date. And with it, humanity’s dream of reaching Mars is becoming more and more real. Hydrogen plays a key role both for the normal functioning of the lunar base and the life of the teams in it, and as a fuel for the further flight to Mars. Meet the scientist in whose hands the future hydrogen storage system of the lunar base is entrusted, Prof. Franz Renz. Learn from him how close he is to creating a comfortable airflow for breathing on the future base, how space technologies and his hydrogen storage system on the Moon will help here on Earth, and what challenges he needs to solve before the installation on the Moon begins!

Description

Franz Renz has been a professor at the Institute for Inorganic Chemistry at Leibniz Universität Hannover since 2008 and since 2025 he also holds a professorship at Technical University Vienna. In addition to coordination chemistry with a focus on “molecular switches” with potential importance for technology (e.g. storage, energy conversion), medicine (e.g. tumor detection) and geology (e.g. earthquake prevention), his areas of work also include his favorite element iron. He followed his favorite method, Mössbauer spectroscopy, to Mars and has been a member of NASA-JPL’s Mars Exploration Rover Mission since 1998.
