8th Industrial Days at the DLR site in Lampoldshausen

March 2, 2020
The first launch of Ariane 6 is now within reach. The decision to build this new European launcher was taken six years ago. It will be launched in two versions and will be more flexible and cost-effective than its predecessor, Ariane 5. But is that enough?
DLR and Swedish Space Corporation combine expertise for engine tests

October 24, 2019
A new test stand for the next generation of sounding rockets, microlaunchers and reusable launchers will be constructed at the Swedish Esrange Space Center.
Green light for the first dedicated satellite for the European 'space data highway'

May 8, 2019
The European Data Relay Satellite System (EDRS), also known as the 'space data highway', is setting a new standard in real-time data transfer. The innovative laser nodes can transport data volumes of up to 1.8 gigabits per second to Earth, with minimal delay.
DLR researchers develop laser system for contactless detection of explosives

February 28, 2019
Security personnel carry out random checks for explosives on people and objects at airports and major events. Up until now, this has been done by wiping a special test strip over items like bags or laptops, then examining the test strip using an analysis device. This takes a few minutes and requires adequate numbers of personnel.
Project LUNA – a 1000-square-metre Moon in Cologne

November 2, 2018
On 2 October 2018, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR), European Space Agency (ESA) and Air Liquide signed the 'LUNA Energy Project' cooperation agreement at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Bremen.
Airborne laser system aims to detect fungal infestation in vineyards

August 30, 2018
A buzzing noise fills the summer air above the Heilbronn Weingenossenschaft vineyards. The source – a small remote-controlled hexacopter hovering a few metres above the vines. Hanging below it is a black box – slightly larger than a shoebox – that contains a laser-based detection system.
Microlaunchers - a reorganisation of the route to space

April 11, 2018
The Ariane launch vehicle family and the Vega launcher guarantee Europe's independent access to space. With an eye on the now rapidly changing situation in the launch market, the question is being asked – how can this successful portfolio of space launchers be expanded in the future? Additionally, what is the outlook in this for new and unconventional ideas?
Market-ready: Electric propulsion systems 'made in Germany'

September 22, 2017
Electric propulsion systems are considered to be particularly promising space technology. Although they produce less thrust, their fuel efficiency is significantly higher than that of conventional chemical engines. Satellites can thus be made considerably lighter and more durable. Additionally, the payload capacity can be increased because of the lower fuel mass needed.
New thrust for Ariane 6

June 28, 2017
Space travel is not possible without launchers. Every space activity is based on this simple fact. Launcher systems connect Earth to space. They transport people and materials into space and deliver research and commercial satellites to orbit. Launchers provide the only way to conduct scientific research and ensure commercial utilisation of space.
DLR at the Paris Air Show

June 19, 2017
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt; DLR) will be at the Paris Air Show from 19 to 25 June 2017. This year, the focus will be on mobility and digitalisation. In Hall 2C at the German Community stand, DLR will showcase technological innovations for eco-efficient flying with lower carbon dioxide and noise emissions, as well as a pioneering mission for global monitoring of dynamic Earth systems on the ground and in the atmosphere, with ever larger quantities of data handled professionally.
