Detecting supercooled water droplets under icing conditions

March 19, 2020
Icing on aircraft in flight is not related to the time of year, but rather the weather conditions. As part of the EU project SENS4ICE (SENSors and certifiable hybrid architectures for safer aviation in ICing Environment), the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is working with 18 international partners to conduct research into icing and its impact on flight characteristics.
Asteroid Ryugu likely link in planetary formation

March 16, 2020
The Solar System formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago. Numerous fragments that bear witness to this early era orbit the Sun as asteroids. Around three-quarters of these are carbon-rich C-type asteroids, such as 162173 Ryugu, which was the target of the Japanese Hayabusa2 mission in 2018 and 2019.
Cleared for commercialisation – Bartolomeo external platform to expand usage of the ISS

March 4, 2020
Its days on Earth are numbered – the external platform Bartolomeo is currently waiting for its launch to the International Space Station (ISS) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida inside a SpaceX Dragon capsule. This project 'made in Germany' is making a significant contribution to the commercialisation of the ISS.
Clouds as a factor influencing the climate – EUREC4A field campaign aims to solve one of the great mysteries of climate science

January 16, 2020
The almost six-week-long EUREC⁴A (Elucidating the role of clouds-circulation coupling in climate) field campaign will begin on 20 January 2020. The aim is to test theories about the role of clouds and convection in climate change by conducting comprehensive measurements in the atmosphere and ocean.
