Dec 19, 2024 · The German Aerospace Center (DLR) is the aerospace research centre of the Federal Republic of Germany. Its research and development work in aeronautics, space, energy, transport and security is integrated into national and international co-operations.
In May 2009, Alexander Gerst was announced as one of six new ESA astronauts, having overcome stiff competition; there were 8413 applicants from 20 member states. After completing his two-year basic training with the Russian space organisation Roscosmos in Moscow and astronaut training at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, he was selected to become the third German astronaut to visit the ...
DLR's portfolio ranges from fundamental and applied research to the development of the preliminary stages of innovative future products. The resulting scientific and technical expertise generated at DLR strengthens Germany as a prime location for industry and technology.
The DLR HIT Hand II from HIT (Harbin Institute of technology) and DLR Institut for Robotics and Mechatronic is further stage of the DLR HIT Hand I.In contrast to the DLR HIT Hand I the new DLR HIT Hand II has five modular fingers with four joint and three active degrees of freedoms and is still lighter and smaller.
DLR Hand I (1998) The DLR Hand I was the immediate predecessor of the DLR Hand II. Each finger shows up a 2-dof cardanic base joint realized by special designed linear actuators (artificial muscles) and a third actuator of this type integrated into the bottom finger link, thus, actuating the second link actively and, by elaborate coupling via a spring, the third link passively.
In this way, LUNA enables the development and testing of new tools and devices, as well as the simulation of new operating concepts in an analogue lunar environment, and will thus support future manned lunar missions in their preparation.
The terms for TerraSAR-X data utilisation depend on the envisaged application. The base level products comprise simple image products, where scanning mode, polarization and geometric projection can be specified by the customer according to their needs. Orders can be placed for items from the current catalogue as well as for ...
Space and transport – these are the main research areas at DLR's Berlin site. The institutes at this location are involved in major missions to observe the Earth, other planets in the Solar System, as well as exoplanets. In the field of transport, scientists are researching mobility concepts for the future.
DLR Stuttgart is bursting with energy! The focus of the research activities conducted here include storage and conversion technologies for a reliable supply of renewable energies, novel vehicle concepts, innovative laser systems, high-tech materials, structures and propulsion systems for climate-neutral aviation, as well as efficient and safe spaceflight.
