System Analysis

System Analysis Space Segment

The department „System Analysis Space Segment“ (SARA) constitutes, together with the department „System Analysis Space Transport“ (SART), the division of System Analysis and, thus, is integrated in the Institute of Space Systems of the German Aerospace Center (DLR).

Space Launcher Systems Analysis (SART)

The SART (Space Launcher Systems Analysis) group has the task of examining all types of future space launch systems and the thereof required engines by means of modern, computer-aided methods. One of the fundamental aims is to reduce the cost of access to space through the identification of viable technologies. Activities range from stand-alone preliminary studies to critical analysis and assessment of foreign concepts. Thanks to integrated vehicle and engine analysis performed within a single group, SART fills a unique position within the German space sector.
