Projects

Aeromask (Aerosols and their interaction with face masks)

The DLR Institute for Software Technology, the Institute of Aerospace Medicine and the Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology are investigating the effectiveness of oronasal masks in the joint project "Aeromask". The experiments make quantitative statements about the influence of everyday masks on the behavior of exhaled aerosols and particles.

BIROS

The small satellite BIROS is part of the FireBIRD mission. It is based on the small satellite bus TET-1. The payloads are contributions of several DLR institutes. The satellite bus is enhanced by functionalities required by the Firebird mission. The orbit is a formation flight in conjunction with the TET-1. This enables the repeated monitoring of a region of interest within a short period.

CROSS DRIVE

EU Project about distributed virtual environments in order to discuss and analyse geodesy datasets, atmospheric datasets and rover operations for Mars.

DLR-PostProc

Deployment of a scalable HPC-Software-Infrastructure for distributed interactive Post-processing

Drone Simulation Project - Simulated drones for population study

In the future, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), also known as drones, will be increasingly used to transport goods in urban areas. Together with the Institute of Flight Guidance and the Institute of Transportation Systems the acceptance of the population concerning the use of unmanned aerial systems in the city was investigated with the help of virtual drones simulated by the Institute for Software Technology.

Das Projekt EQUATE (Enabling QUAnTum AdvantagE) untersucht das Potenzial von Quantencomputern für Anwendungen im Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt und der Industrie.

EQUIP (Error Correction for Quantum Information Processing)

Das EQUIP-Projekt zielt darauf ab, radikal neue Lösungen für die fehlertolerante Quantenberechnung bereitzustellen.

ELEVATE (Enhanced probLEm solVing with quAntum compuTErs)

Das Projekt ELEVATE (Enhanced probLEm solVing with quAntum compuTErs) untersucht das Potenzial von Quantencomputern für Anwendungen im DLR. Es ist die Fortführung des Projektes EQUATE.

ESROCOS

The ESROCOS project is an EU funded H2020 project (grant agreement No 730080), conducted within the PERASPERA program. It aims to develop a system software stack and development environment for future robotic space missions. It is an open source project, targeting current issues in this domain, like vendor lock-ins or insufficient coverage of RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety) properties.

Eu:CROPIS

The goal of the Eu:CROPIS mission (Euglena Combined Regenerative Organic food Production In Space) is to demonstrate the long term stability of a life support system. The system recycles biological waste products to produce drinking water, food and oxygen.

GAP – Group Assessment of Performance and Behaviour

Im Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekt GAP wird ein neuartiges psychologisches Testverfahren entwickelt, in welchem Kleingruppen (bis zu 4 Personen) simultan hinsichtlich verschiedener individueller und kollektiver Leistungsparameter sowie sozialer Kompetenzen beurteilt werden.

HIFIS

Empirische Daten sind der Rohstoff exzellenter Forschung. Um eine bestmögliche Nutzbarkeit der Daten ermöglichen zu können ist es notwendig, entsprechendes Fachwissen und eine IT-Infrastruktur bereitzustellen.

HPC against Corona

Das Institut für Softwaretechnologie entwickelt in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Helmholtz-zentrum für Infektionsforschung ein umfassendes Softwarepaket, welches das COVID19-Infektionsgeschehen per Simulation darstellt. Neben einer hochaufgelösten Modellierung der Infektionsausbreitung steht im Mittelpunkt die Wirkung der Gegenmaßnahmen zu bewerten.

IslandViz

To visualize software, we have developed the program IslandViz. The program represents a virtual island landscape, whereby the islands can be understood as a metaphor.

Cartography of Mars in a Virtual Reality Environment

This work aims to investigate the suitability of applying Virtual Reality techniques in the exploration of Mars terrain features in order to support the creation of topographic maps of the planet.

MAIUS / QUANTUS

Being part of the QUANTUS project (QUANTen Gase Unter Schwerelosigkeit - Quantum Gases in Weightlessness), the MAIUS (Materiewellen Interferometrie unter Schwerelosigkeit - Matter-Wave Interferometry in Weightlessness) experiment investigates the feasibility of experiments with ultra-cold atoms on sounding rockets.

MBSE for FIDIR

The Model Based Engineering for Failure Detection, Isolation and Recovery (MBSE4FDIR) project aims to capture, develop and realize FDIR concepts using modern MBSE concepts.

NGT - Next Generation Train

The goal of the work package which is part of the “Next Generation Train (NGT)“ project is the construction and development of a train simulator including a software suite to evaluate the simulation results. By using the simulator in combination with the evaluation suite it is possible to analyze the energy consumption and flows for hybrid propulsion systems of the next generation.

PROV-SPEC - Standardisierung eines erweiterbaren Modells für Provenance-Daten

Erstellung eines Vorschlags für einen nationalen Standard (DIN-SPEC) eines offenen Provenance-Modells auf Basis bereits bestehender offener Provenance-Modelle. Insbesondere auf Grundlage des Open Provenance Modells (OPM) und dessen Weiterentwicklung Provenance Data Model (PROV-DM). Im Projekt werden dazu die existierenden Modelle evaluiert und ggf. an nationale Bedürfnisse angepasst.

ScOSA

The Scalable on-board Computing for Space Aviconcs (ScOSA) project aims to develop a distributed, heterogeneous and reliable On-Board Computer (OBC), offering more computing performance than current OBCs and the option to reconfigure the entire OBC whenever needed.

TATT - Titanium Aluminide Turbine Toolbox

Im Projekt TATT (Titanium Aluminide Turbine Toolbox) wird ein vernetztes Auslegungstool für die Herstellung von Niederdruckturbinenkomponenten aus dem Hochleistungswerkstoff TiAl entwickelt. Mit Hilfe dieses Tools soll eine Schaufelgeometrie automatisiert generiert werden, die das Optimum aus effizienter Aerodynamik, wirtschaftlicher Herstellung, werkstoffgerechter Bauweise und langer Lebensdauer darstellt.

TRACE

TRACE is a software system for the computation of the three-dimensional unsteady flow in multi-stage compressors and turbine components.

VESTEC (Visual Exploration and Sampling Toolkit for Extreme Computing)

VESTEC develops integrated software solutions that are needed for urgent decision making in various crisis scenarios. It builds a flexible processing chain to combine different data sources, to enable flexible scheduling and interactive supercomputing, and to use 3D visualization environments for interactive crisis assessments.

Virtual Planet

Interaktive 3D-Visualisierung von Simulations- und Explorationsdaten zur Erforschung von Planeten und zur Planung von Raumfahrtmissionen. Die multiskalierbare Datenintegration erlaubt die nahtlose Erkundung des gesamten Sonnensystems bis zur detaillierten Straßenansicht z. B. von Helgoland. Es können Krater auf dem Mond vermessen, Bergebenen auf dem Mars bewertet, oder zukünftige Landeplätze für geplante Marsmissionen klassifiziert werden. Neben Oberflächendaten lassen sich Atmosphärendaten dreidimensional analysieren oder Radardaten für die Untergrundbewertung verwenden.

Virtual Satellite

The project Virtual Satellite focus on the topic of Model based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Research and Development started in 2007 initially supporting the Systems Engineering activities in the Concurrent Engineering Facility (CEF) in Bremen. Today this focus has shifted and the goal of digital support to spacecraft missions over the whole lifecycle starts to become reality. The results of this work are mostly condensed in the two software projects called Virtual Satellite 3 and 4.
