Creating knowledge! That’s what space flight research wants, too. And it starts early: the German Aerospace Center (DLR) accompanies young people wanting to „reach out to the stars”.
Extraterrestrics
Space. The final frontier. And large parts of it still unexplored. In our galaxy alone: 100 billions of stars. At least. Space flight – in particularly the launch of probes into our solar system and beyond – is still a young science. Room for plenty of pioneering work.
From the campus to the cosmos
The aircraft of tomorrow, satellites and probes, environmental research, the cosmic neighbourhood, future traffic systems, renewable energies, robotics, new materials, and space medicine: those who are interested in the aerospace industry get many opportunities to deepen their own talents and interests during studies of natural sciences, engineering, or medicine, or to discover new worlds. The DLR is closely cooperating with students and universities, since the students of today will be the reseachers of tomorrow. From the first semester to PhD fellowship, young talents can benefit from DLR’s offers during their studies.
Manned space flight
Aerospace not only employs our imagination but also thousands of people that are working, among other places, at the institutes of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), to render manned space flight possible in the first place. Many insights and technical achievements emerge only from the difficulties a flight to or a sojourn in space are presenting.
School subject: home planet.
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) is one of the largest and most modern research institutions for European aerospace. We are glad to share our enthusiasm with young discoverers of all age groups in order to support their interest in natural sciences. In school and after school – from the paper glider to the self-built satellite.
We are the robots.
Too hard, too cold, too warm, or too dangerous – robots couldn’t care less about such warnings. Robots work under water, on land, in the air and in space as well – and all that under conditions that would be life-threatening for humans. That makes them ideal helpers for discoverers. Robotics is continuously perfected for aerospace as well as maritime research. For example, in the joint project ROBEX.
Space to Earth: solution found!
So many good ideas, so much innovation! Space flight is anything but out of touch with the real world. DLR supports founders with clever ideas, builds launch pads for whizz-kids and ensures that, not least, we “earthlings” will benefit.
