For almost any in-space propulsion application Hydrazine or one of its derivates is currently the propellant of choice. However, due to its highly toxic and carcinogenic properties it has become subject to the European REACH legislation, which may restrict its use in the future. Therefore the Institute for Flight Propulsion (LFA) investigates various properties of methane and oxygen as promising replacements for use in space applications. In order to introduce students to the topic of these "green propellants" the LFA operate a mobile rocket combustion chamber test facility (MoRaP) in the scope of a practical course, which allows students to perform their own experiments under realistic conditions. Complementing these experimental investigations students are also introduced to the challenges of reproducing and explaining the gathered test data with the help of numerical tools. Within the framework of several Master's and Diploma Theses simulations employing Ansys Fluent have been carried out. This paper provides an overview of the education efforts undertaken at LFA and highlights selected results of these numerical investigations.
