Thomas Berger presents the returned phantoms Helga and Zohar at :envihab in Cologne
Researchers at the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Cologne have now begun evaluating more than 12,000 passive radiation detectors made of small crystals located throughout the two measuring mannequins. Reading out the information stored in these crystals creates a three-dimensional image of the human body that reveals the overall radiation exposure experienced by bones and organs in different parts of the body during a flight to the Moon and back. -

VOLCAN project
In the 'VOL avec Carburants Alternatifs Nouveaux' (VOLCAN) project, an Airbus A321neo is flying using pure SAF in both engines for the first time. It is being chased by the German Aerospace Center's (DLR) Falcon 20E research aircraft, which measures emissions and ice crystals in the exhaust jet. In the future, the targeted use of SAF in contrail regions could help to rapidly reduce the climate impact of aviation. -

Water ice on Ceres
This animation shows the dwarf planet Ceres. The bluish colour at the poles represents regions of higher hydrogen content. Red, on the other hand, which is primarily distributed over the lower latitudes, represents a lower hydrogen content. -

Video: Research at minus 269 degrees Celsius: Unique facility at DLR Göttingen helps NASA search for life in space
Is there life on other planetary bodies? Jupiter's moon Europa could provide an answer to this question: it is believed to harbour an ocean of water beneath its icy surface. But how might an exploration mission to the Jovian satellite be conducted without contaminating the landing site? To find out, researchers at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) in Göttingen have carried out investigations in a unique facility on behalf of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). -

Video: DLR Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology - 'Dancing' helicopter helps reduce noise
Researchers at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) in Göttingen have visualised the main cause of noise from a heavyweight helicopter in flight. To do this, they conducted flight tests with a CH-53G of the German Armed Forces by letting the helicopter 'dance' close to the ground.

Video: Moon mission #Artemis 1 successfully launched (Recap NASA livestream)
On 16 November 2022, NASA's Artemis I mission blasted off to the Moon from Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The new SLS rocket lifted off at 07:47 CET, carrying the Orion spacecraft towards Earth’s natural satellite. The mission is expected to last 26 days. The Orion spacecraft, whose service and propulsion module is the European Service Module (ESM), primarily built in Germany, will orbit the Moon several times. Also on board are two mannequins from the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) used to measure radiation.
