We were delighted that Dr. John Horack paid us a visit on October 15, 2025 during his tour of Germany. As holder of the Neil Armstrong Chair in Aerospace Policy at Ohio State University and with ...
In a dedicated cleanroom at ESA’s ESTEC facility, preparations are underway to mount the combined sunshield and solar module onto the base of the PLATO spacecraft. For this procedure, the module was ...
DLR's EO Wald web service offers open-access interactive maps depicting canopy loss across Germany. Losses have been recorded monthly since September 2017, with a spatial resolution of ten metres.
The Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park stretches across 10,000 hectares in western Rhineland-Palatinate and extends into Saarland. The map from DLR's EO Wald web service shows the decline in canopy cover ...
In summer 2021, a storm caused severe damage to the forests in Chiemgau north of Lake Chiemsee in Bavaria, as the EO Wald map shows. The colour scale, from black (September 2017) to yellow (September ...
Researchers installed an optical communication terminal into the Dornier 228 aircraft, which acted a mobile node in a quantum network and established a connection to a ground station. The flight ...
The mobile detection system detects drones at an early stage. It can also determine their position.
In this scenario, the interceptor drone detects the intruding drone and pursues it. DLR has already successfully demonstrated various drone defence measures.
In DLR's CUSTODIAN (Counter-UAS Technologies for Detection, Interception and Neutralization) project, twelve DLR institutes and facilities pool their expertise under the leadership of the Institute of ...
Countless dust devils have swept across the terrain, removing the reddish dust along their paths. A single active dust devil and its shadow can be seen in the centre of this CaSSIS image.
Engineers install the sunshield and solar module onto ESA's PLATO satellite. The work took place on 9 September 2025 in a dedicated cleanroom at ESA's ESTEC facility in the Netherlands. The team ...
For this new study, researchers trained an artificial neural network to detect dust devils. The result: a catalogue of all 1039 dust devil images recorded by Mars Express since 2004 and by the ExoMars ...
