Despite their large potential to reduce emissions and increase transport efficiency, cargo bikes have thus far not been used to any significant extent for business purposes.

TanDEM-X
The objective of the TanDEM-X mission (TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement) is to produce a highly accurate, three-dimensional image of our Earth with uniform quality and unprecedented accuracy.
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.
Space research
Microgravity experiments, planetary exploration and Earth observation are among the many space research activities conducted by DLR.
DLR research aircraft HALO
The High Altitude and LOng Range Research Aircraft (HALO) research aircraft heralds a new chapter in the history of German atmospheric research and Earth observation. The combination of range, cruising altitude, payload and comprehensive instrumentation make the aircraft a globally unique research platform.

Alexander Gerst's mission 'horizons – Knowledge for Tomorrow'
Gerst embarked on his mission to the International Space Station –'horizons - knowledge for tomorrow –on 6 June 2018. There he worked for the second time in the largest international technology project of all time. From the beginning of October he was also commander of the ISS.
Transport research
DLR conducts research into the transport sector. With its extensive programme, DLR is Europe’s second largest institutionally funded transport research institution. Here, the challenges for tomorrow's mobility are identified and concrete interdisciplinary solutions are developed. The results contribute to a sustainable transport system in Germany and Europe that benefit both the economy and society.
