Featured topicQuantum technologies – at the limit of what is possibleThe two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are the target of the Japanese exploration mission 'Martian Moons eXploration', MMX for short. DLR and the French space agency CNES are involved with a lander that will explore Phobos on the surface for several weeks.
Featured topicSecurity and Defense Research at DLRCurrent geopolitical developments require DLR to secure and expand key competences and the ability to analyse and evaluate. We provide technologies and applications to meet the needs of public stakeholders.
Featured topicClimate Compatible AviationWhere classical technologies reach their limits, quantum technologies open up new possibilities for research, industry and business. New sensors, simulators, communication networks and computers with previously unattainable performance are made possible through the harnessing of quantum mechanical effects.
MissionMMX – Martian Moons eXplorationWith the ‘DLR_Startup Factory’, we are strengthening the support of spin-offs from DLR. Our start-ups bring research results into application and thus onto the market. They provide ideas and drive innovation. With products and services, they generate added value and contribute to solving societal challenges.
Featured topicRoad transport – with a futureWind power is already the second most important energy source in Germany. It makes the largest contribution to electricity generation from renewable resources.
Featured topicInternational Space Station ISSThe International Space Station ISS is the largest technology project of all time – humanity's outpost in space. At the same time, it is a orbiting laboratory that provides unprecedented possibilities for scientific and industrial research.

About DLR

DLR at a glance

DLR is the Federal Republic of Germany's research centre for aeronautics and space. We conduct research and development activities in the fields of aeronautics, space, energy, transport, security and digitalisation. The German Space Agency at DLR plans and implements the national space programme on behalf of the federal government. Two DLR project management agencies oversee funding programmes and support knowledge transfer.

Research & Transfer

Climate, mobility and technology are changing globally. DLR uses the expertise of its 55 research institutes and facilities to develop solutions to these challenges. Our 10,000 employees share a mission – to explore Earth and space and develop technologies for a sustainable future. In doing so, DLR contributes to strengthening Germany's position as a prime location for research and industry.

DLRmagazine

DLRmagazine 175 (June 2024)With its nose close to the exhaust jet, the DLR research aircraft Falcon was on the move during the campaign pictured on the cover of DLRmagazine 175. DLR uses such research flights to investigate the influence of sustainable aviation fuels on the climate impact of air traffic. Almost half of this impact consists of so-called non-CO2 effects, which also include contrails. The majority of these have a warming effect on the climate. DLR scientists are also investigating how clever flight route planning can reduce this effect. Other topics in this issue include a DLR start-up that is developing sustainable fuels for spaceflight, an autonomous rail bus and much more.

In fact, it looks utterly unspectacular, just like your average door key.
DLR BlogWhat do people think about drones?Our team at the DLR Institute of Flight Guidance has worked with market research institute SKOPOS to conduct an extensive online survey on drones in six different EU countries. The poll forms part of the USpace4UAM project, and the results are now available. Countries surveyed include Germany, UK, Poland, Spain, Czechia and Austria, with a total of 2998 people taking part.
