IRAS - Integrated Research Platform for Affordable Satellites
In the project "IRAS" (Integrated Research Platform for Affordable Satellites), an integrated development platform for low-cost satellites is being set up in cooperation between industry and research in Baden-Württemberg. Using new technologies of propulsion, structures, electronics and production technologies, an alternative path to today's cost-intensive development is to be taken.

HiT
Hot structures are of significant importance in aerospace applications, for example in thermal protection systems for atmospheric entry manoeuvres. Owing to lacking understanding of the recession and thermal behaviour of polymeric and ceramic thermal protection systems in interaction with the flow environment, heat shields still have to be rated with very high safety margins. In cooperation with the university Institute of Aerospace Thermodynamics, the initiative is to investigate modern heat shields by both computational analysis and measurement.

ATLLAS II - „Aero-Thermodynamic Loads on Lightweight Advanced Structures II“
ATLLAS behandelte den Entwurf von Hochgeschwindigkeits-Flugzeugen, die eine Flugmachzahl von 3 bzw. 6 erreichen. Um eine bessere Effizienz zu erreichen, wurden die verschiedenen Konfigurationen mit Hilfe eines multidisziplinären Entwurfsprozesses optimiert. Bedingt durch die dabei auftretenden hohen Temperaturen und Wärmeflüsse können klassische Materialien nicht mehr eingesetzt werden.

FAST20XX - „Future high-Altitude high-Speed Transport 20XX“
Im Projekt FAST20XX arbeiten aktuell 16 europäische Partner zusammen, um das Know-How sowie die Technologien des suborbitalen Raumfluges weiterzuentwickeln und die Grauzone zwischen Luftfahrt und Raumfahrt zu schließen. Es wird von der europäischen Weltraumagentur ESA koordiniert.

Raumgleiter – REX-Free Flyer
REX-Free Flyer wird ein Raumgleiter genannt, der ab 2020 für rückführbare Experimente unter Schwerelosigkeit zur Verfügung stehen soll. Die scharfkantige Form verspricht zwei wesentliche Vorteile: Der Hitzeschild könnte dadurch einfacher und sicherer werden und die facettierte Form resultiert in verbesserten aerodynamischen Eigenschaften. An der Entwicklung des REX-FF sind DLR-Institute aus ganz Deutschland beteiligt.

EXPERT – European experimental re-entry test-bed
The Institute of Structures and Design of DLR in Stuttgart will build the CMC (Ceramic Matrix Composite) nose for the EXPERT capsule. The aim of the EXPERT project is to validate aero-thermodynamic models, numeric codes and ground test facilities by data, which was collected in a representative flight environment. Hereby a better understanding for the processes of the analysis, the tests and the extrapolation of the results to actual flight conditions shall be achieved and the design process for spacecraft shall be improved.

FOTON-M2 – Feuertaufe in der Plasmawolke
Der kritische Moment bei der Rückkehr aus dem Weltraum ist der Eintritt in die Erdatmosphäre. Temperaturen von bis zu 2.000 Grad Celsius beanspruchen Material und Raumfahrzeug auf das Äußerste. Das Institut für Bauweisen und Strukturtechnologie beim Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) forscht an geeigneten Schutzkacheln und hat seine neueste Entwicklung an Bord einer russischen Raumkapsel vom Typ FOTON-M2 mit Erfolg getestet.

SHEFEX – Sharp Edge Flight Experiment
The goals of SHEFEX-1 are the examination of new bevelling thermal protection system concepts based on flat panels in order to save costs and to collet sensoriy comprehensive flight measuring data, which help to confirm the aerodynamic characteristics of sharp edged configurations and to validate design tools.

Nose cap of the CRV test plant X-38
X-38 was designed to be a technology demonstrator of NASA for the life boat CRV (crew Return Vehicle) for the international space station ISS. Placed on a booster rocket a later development into an independent Crew Transport Vehicle (CTV) should be possible. Within the TETRA program (technologies for future space transport systems) essential components were developed in the range of the hot structures as well as a sensor system for X-38 and supplied to NASA. Beside the German industry the DLR was integrated into the development of components as well.

Ceramic Tile Experiment CETEX for the EXPRESS Mission
In the course of a co-operation between Germany and Japan the project EXPRESS was operated under the direction and financing of the former DARA and under the system responsibility of the DASA. A Russian Salyut capsule was equipped with five re-entry experiments. After the start in January 1995 in Japan the capsule ought to perform a ballistic re-entry after an orbital phase of five days and land in Australia.
