Research competence at the site
Within the framework of Lampoldshausen 2000+, the importance of investigations into cryogenic propellants as well as high-pressure combustion in cryogenic engines had been established in particular, as these research topics formed a focus of European space travel within the framework of the Ariane 5 program. With the P8 research and technology test facility, the site built up the necessary infrastructure for testing these future engines from 1986 onward.
