DEAR – Deployable 100W Photovoltaic Array for SmallSats


The DEAR project aims at the development of a fully functional, deployable 100°W photovoltaic array for LEO applications which can be stowed in and deployed out of a 1U volume. It shall be compatible to standard mechanical and thermal CubeSat interface requirements.

CREAM – Collet Hold-down and Release Mechanism


For most space mission it is important to deploy structures like solar arrays or antennas in space after launch. For the launch, these structures need to be securely stowed and fixed on the satellite. This is usually accomplished by using so called hold-down and release mechanisms (HDRM).

CALLISTO


CALLISTO is a reusable VTVL stage demonstrator. CALLISTO is jointly operated by DLR, JAXA and CNES designed, built and tested. Notable characteristics - compared to conventional consumable launchers – are CALLISTO's landing system and its aerodynamic control surfaces.

ADEO


As part of the Clean Space roadmap, ESA is researching and developing technologies that will prevent the formation of space debris. The Code of Conduct stipulates that satellites must be deorbited within 25 years after passivation at the end of their useful life.

InSight


The core component of HP³ is an instrumented, electromechanical 'mole', equipped with an active, and a passive Thermal Measurement Suite (TEM-A and TEM-P), as well as a combined accelerometer and tiltmeter (ACTIL), which uses an internal hammering mechanism to penetrate through the ground.
