DLRmagazine 165 – All-rounder in the starting blocks

August 17, 2020
DLRmagazine's August issue presents the all-rounder that is hydrogen and poses the question: Will hydrogen soon make its mark as an energy carrier? Also in this issue: DLR's ground station in Inuvik is celebrating its tenth anniversary and the research aircraft HALO flew over Barbados to investigate the interaction between clouds, weather and climate.
All-rounder in the starting blocks

Hydrogen already enjoys pole position in the periodic table. With the atomic number one, it is found right at the top. Will it soon become the hero of the energy and mobility transition, too? It certainly has what it takes.
New solar cells for space

August 13, 2020
Almost all satellites are powered by solar cells – but solar cells are heavy. While conventional high-performance cells reach up to three watts of electricity per gram, perovskite and organic hybrid cells could provide up to 10 times that amount. A research team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) has now tested this type of cell in space for the first time.
