  • Successful launch of Überflieger 2

    Stu­dent ex­per­i­ments on their way to the ISS

    March 13, 2023
    +++ On Wednes­day, 15 March 2023 at 01:30 CET (14 March at 20:30 lo­cal time), the 27th Com­mer­cial Re­sup­ply Ser­vice (CRS-27) mis­sion lift­ed off from Launch Com­plex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Cen­ter in Flori­da. On Thurs­day 16 March, Drag­on au­tonomous­ly docked with the In­ter­na­tion­al Space Sta­tion ISS. +++ It has been just one and a half years since the Ger­man Space Agen­cy at the Ger­man Aerospace Cen­ter (Deutsches Zen­trum für Luft- und Raum­fahrt; DLR) and the Lux­em­bourg Space Agen­cy (LSA) gave the green light for the Über­flieger 2 com­pe­ti­tion.

    DLR Göt­tin­gen helps in the search for signs of life in space

    March 10, 2023
    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?
  • The 'first female lunar astronauts' Helga and Zohar are back in Cologne

    The first of a new gen­er­a­tion of lu­nar 'as­tro­nauts' re­turn to Cologne

    March 9, 2023
    Fol­low­ing their his­tor­i­cal jour­ney around the Moon as part of NASA's Artemis I mis­sion, the ra­di­a­tion-mea­sur­ing man­nequins, Hel­ga and Zo­har, are back in Cologne. On 9 March 2023, the two fe­male as­tro­naut phan­toms were pre­sent­ed to the me­dia by the Ger­man Aerospace Cen­ter (DLR) at its In­sti­tute of Aerospace Medicine for the first time since their flight.
  • Annual press conference DLR 2023 in Berlin

    New re­search air­craft for cli­mate-friend­ly flight, new wind en­er­gy re­search farm and green light for the Start­up Fac­to­ry

    March 1, 2023
    In 2023, the Ger­man Aerospace Cen­ter (DLR) will pro­vide sig­nif­i­cant re­search sup­port for the de­vel­op­ment and rapid ap­pli­ca­tion of sus­tain­able tech­nolo­gies. The aim is to make the best pos­si­ble use of in­no­va­tions in aero­nau­tics, space, en­er­gy, trans­port, and se­cu­ri­ty to tran­si­tion to­wards a cli­mate-neu­tral so­ci­ety.
  • Dawn's arrival at the dwarf planet Ceres

    Wa­ter-rich as­ter­oids came from far out­side the as­ter­oid belt

    February 20, 2023
    Where did the wa­ter that makes up Earth's oceans come from? This ques­tion has not yet been defini­tive­ly an­swered. When Earth was formed, 4.5 bil­lion years ago, it re­ceived a quan­ti­ty of volatile sub­stances from the pri­mor­dial so­lar neb­u­la, which were out­gassed from the in­te­ri­or of the young plan­et dur­ing the so­lid­i­fi­ca­tion of an ear­ly mag­ma ocean and through ac­tive vol­can­ism.

    100 years since the dis­cov­ery of Tu­tankhamun's tomb – dis­cov­er­ing the Val­ley of the Kings with radar

    February 16, 2023
    A cen­tu­ry ago, the British ar­chae­ol­o­gist Howard Carter opened Tu­tankhamun's buri­al cham­ber.
  • Changes to the land surface

    Land sur­face has been dis­placed by up to six me­tres

    February 14, 2023
    Satel­lite im­ages have re­vealed how the land has shift­ed as a re­sult of the se­vere earth­quakes in Turkey and Syr­ia. Ac­cord­ing to an anal­y­sis by the Ger­man Aerospace Cen­ter (DLR), this shift amounts to up to six me­tres in some places.
  • The OSSIE spacecraft from UARX Space featuring DLR radio technology

    The fu­ture of small satel­lite trans­fer or­bits

    February 10, 2023
    The Ger­man Aerospace Cen­ter (DLR) is cur­rent­ly work­ing with UARX Space to de­vel­op a spe­cialised space­craft that will trans­port mul­ti­ple satel­lites to dif­fer­ent de­sired or­bits af­ter sep­a­ra­tion from the launch ve­hi­cle.

    Nec­taris Fos­sae and Prot­va Valles – faults and val­leys on a vol­canic high­land plateau

    January 31, 2023
    Jan­uary's 'Mars Im­age of the Month' re­veals a ge­o­log­i­cal­ly com­plex re­gion on the flanks of Thau­ma­sia Planum, an ex­ten­sive vol­canic plateau in the high­lands south­east of the Valles Mariner­is val­ley sys­tem. The im­age da­ta was ac­quired us­ing the High Res­o­lu­tion Stereo Cam­era (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Ex­press mis­sion.

    New da­ta plat­form to host Coper­ni­cus Earth ob­ser­va­tion da­ta

    January 24, 2023
    Re­mote sens­ing da­ta re­veals the state of our plan­et and al­lows us to look in­to Earth's past: it is an in­dis­pens­able tool to help us bet­ter un­der­stand and pro­tect our plan­et. How can we se­cure this tool long term while pro­vid­ing con­tin­u­ous ac­cess?
