Projects

ATON – Autonomous Terrain based Optical Navigation

ATON is a project to develop an optical navigation system for autonomous landings on celestial bodies.

C²A²S²E - Center for Computer Applications in AeroSpace Science and Engineering

It is the proclaimed aim of the project, to develop processes, methods and numerical models to a level enabling the highly accurate simulation of an aeroplane throughout the whole flight envelope.

Core Avionics

Core Avionics deals with the development of an operating system for small satellites. Central component is RODOS, a real-time kernel and middleware, and a network architecture connecting to peripheral components and payload devices.

DLR-PostProc

Deployment of a scalable HPC-Software-Infrastructure for distributed interactive Post-processing

DLR Software Catalogue

The DLR Software Catalogue is a web application for the registration of DLR software projects.

DLR Software Standards

DLR Software Standards is a system for supporting projects, with various software engineering and quality assurance measures, during their whole lifecycle.

EmotionAAL - Ambient Assisted Living

The aim of the EU project EmotionAAL is the realization of an integrated health and care service concepts for the elderly population of rural regions in Europe with the assistance of highly innovative micro-system techniques and nanotechnology as well as the development of the telemedicine concerning the mobile use and AAL centre of telematics. As part of this project the DLR develops the Plug&Care Connector, a middleware for mobile phones, supporting the monitoring of patients.

HICFD – Highly Efficient Implementation of CFD Codes for HPC Many-Core Architectures

The research project HICFD is funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research within the programme “IKT 2020 – Research and Innovation”. The project´s objective is to develop new methods and tools for the analysis and optimization of the performance of parallel CFD codes on high performance computer systems with many-core processors (HPC many-core architectures) and to exemplarily apply these to DLR´s CFD programs TAU (computation of external flows) and TRACE (simulation of internal flows).

IMENS-3C - Integrierter Multidisziplinärer Entwurf von Raumfahrzeugstrukturen

Ziel des IMENS-3C-Projekts ist die Verbesserung des im Rahmen der Projekte IMENS und IMENS+ entwickelten Auslegungstools mit Fluid-Struktur-Kopplung sowie dessen Anwendung auf komplexe Probleme.

Cartography of Mars in a Virtual Reality Environment

This work aims to investigate the suitability of applying Virtual Reality techniques in the exploration of Mars terrain features in order to support the creation of topographic maps of the planet.

Online Monitoring

Online Monitoring and Computational Steering of Massive Parallel CFD Simulations

PartnerGrid - Cooperative Grid Solutions for Industrial Applications

Design and production processes are more and more designed in a work-sharing way. Instead of covering the most part of the value added chain by themselves companies focus on its core competences und buy hardware, equipment and services from third parties. By selecting between multiple partners costs can be reduced and the most capable partner can be chosen for working on a specified task.

SHEFEX II

In October 2005 the first version of DLR’s hypersonic SHarp Edge Flight EXperiment (SHEFEX) program was successfully launched from the Andøya Rocket Range in northern Norway. The mission investigated new shape possibilities for future launch or reentry vehicles, using a reentry vehicle body with facetted surfaces and sharp edges. The next generation experiment, SHEFEX II, will launch in 2010.

SimMoLib – Simulation Model Library

The project SimMoLib develops a library prototype for simulation models in the whole DLR. In this library models should be stored only, which are verified, validated, and documented extensively. In addition, the possibilities of user support shall be examined.
