Pendulum Cart Meets Rocket Control: Science Night with a Clear View of the Future

At Pendulum Cart - Rocket Control in Bonn, an exciting insight into the control systems of tomorrow is on the agenda on May 22, 2026. The lecture is part of the Science Night and connects illustrative mechanics with the question of how robust and efficient control concepts for future rockets can be derived from it. The event is free of charge and accessible without prior registration.

When Physics Becomes Tangible

The title sounds technical, but therein lies the appeal: A pendulum cart makes fundamental principles of motion, stability, and control visible. Those interested in space travel, engineering sciences, and modern control technology will experience science as a lively demonstration rather than dry theory. This fits perfectly with the atmosphere of a Science Night, where curiosity, audience mood, and real event experience come together.

Science Location Bonn with a Strong Profile

The German Aerospace Center looks back on more than 115 years of research history and a broad presence at several locations in Germany. Through its official channels, the DLR regularly informs about research, missions, events, and projects. For this lecture, this is a strong signal: Here speaks an institution with expertise, reach, and scientific authority. ([dlr.de](https://www.dlr.de/en/dlr/about-us/history-of-dlr))

Location with Pleasant Infrastructure

The event venue is the House of Education at Mülheimer Platz 1 in 53111 Bonn. According to the official information from the city of Bonn, the central library in the House of Education offers barrier-free access as well as a WLAN hotspot; furthermore, the location is well embedded in the urban event environment. This creates a setting that is very well suited for a lecture with an interested, mixed audience.
