The European Test Center

The European Test Center
The global space market is more dynamic and diverse than ever. At the same time, today's European launch strategy is characterized by significantly shorter development times and cost-cutting technologies. The DLR Institute of Space Propulsion is ideally positioned for these developments: As a European research and test center for liquid propulsion systems, it has ideal framework conditions and high-quality test facilities. These cover the entire portfolio for engine tests of all sizes and specifications. In addition, there is even better networking and cooperation between aerospace companies, start-ups and research. Another advantage: the close integration of basic research with test operations enables us to exploit the full potential of rapid technology development.
