The Prometheus® programme of the European Space Agency (ESA) aims to develop a demonstrator for a reusable 100 tons thrust class engine for future generations of reusable and environmentally friendly European launcher.
With the FLAME project, DLR is developing the basis for the comprehensive modernization and digitalization of engine test benches as part of an ESA programme initiated by the German Space Agency at DLR.
The ETID engine model is to be used for next-generation heavy-lift rockets and is a demonstrator for a liquid oxygen / methane upper stage engine with 100 kilonewtons of thrust.
