Institute of Space Propulsion


The DLR Institute of Space Propulsion has unique expertise in Europe in the development and operation of engine test stands. For example, engines for rockets and space systems have been tested and further developed at the Lampoldshausen site since 1959. This research work is part of the European space program. With the Ariane launcher family, Europe is able to independently launch satellites into orbit for a wide variety of applications, thus securing competitive and independent access to space.

Research - Key Objectives

The unique infrastructure of DLR's Lampoldshausen site for research, development and testing of European liquid rocket propulsion systems is one of the key fields of the future. DLR in Lampoldshausen looks back on 60 years of experience as a European research and test center and is building up expertise in the fields of thrust chamber technologies, advanced green propellants and technology transfer, among others.

Namensgeber des Standortes Lampoldshausen

History of the Site

Adense forest almost conceals the entrance. Individual buildings can be seen through the greenery. The trees rustle. Suddenly, a deafening, thunderous roar breaks the silence. A short while later, a white cloud of steam rises above the canopy of leaves. The roar is over just minutes later, and the birds resume their singing as though nothing has happened. They seem to be familiar with the hustle and bustle of the Harthausen Forest. DLR’s Lampoldshausen site is located 18 kilometres north of Heilbronn, in northern BadenWürttemberg, Germany. The propulsion systems that will launch future rockets into space have been tested here for over 60 years.
