The aim of the Hayabusa2 mission is to learn more about the origin and evolution of the Solar System. As asteroids account for some of the most primordial celestial bodies, researching them gives us a glimpse into our cosmic past.
Aeronautics research
DLR develops solutions for current and next generations of technology. With its research expertise in the overall air transport system, DLR is pursuing the goal of designing well-founded proposals for the generation after next and thus opening up new perspectives for aviation
Energy research
The energy system of the future must be sustainable. Ideally, it should not generate emissions that affect the climate or be at risk of major malfunctions or hazardous environmental impact. Energy should be economical and socially acceptable and its provision should be reliable. Required highly efficient technologies to produce and use this energy are the focus of the DLR energy research.
