Multimedia

In the ‘Multimedia’ section you will find image galleries, the latest videos and photographs relating to DLR’s research areas, as well as high-resolution images and videos featuring, for example, the International Space Station (ISS) and missions such as Mars Express and TanDEM-X.

Glossary

Aeroelastics
Branch of research that studies the interaction between elastic bodies and the flow around them (examples are a blade of grass moving in the wind and aircraft wing flutter).
SCOUT-03
Stratospheric Climate Links with Emphasis on the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere. EU project for researching the transport of microelements between the troposphere and stratosphere. Around 60 European research institutes and universities are working together on this project, including the DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics (Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre).
TECHMOCUM
Joint research project with the task of compiling, comparing and evaluating structural construction concepts and design principles for certain critical area of aircraft fuselages.
Ariane
European family of launcher vehicles for space transport.
Mars Express
The first-ever European planetary mission. The mission has already been extended twice. By carrying out global reconnaissance from its orbit around Mars, Mars Express is obtaining information about the history of the red planet's climate, which should clarify questions relating to the role and existence of water.
