How intelligent do space robots need to be? The Coyote III walking robot is a demonstrator that was developed in the TransTerra project. The TransFIT project builds on some of the results of TransTerra Coyote III is a micro-rover that offers signifcant mobility in unstructured terrain. With its internal power supply, on-board sensors and computer, ...
Cross-sectoral and innovative The mobility of the future will be digital, networked and partially autonomous. For this to happen, it will be necessary to move large volumes of data quickly, securely and regardless of location. The services, technology developments and infrastructure components – such as global Earth observation, communications and navigation satellite constellations – offered ...
The Franco-German satellite mission The Franco-German climate mission MERLIN (Methane Remote Sensing Lidar Mission) is expected to measure methane levels in Earth’s atmosphere from 2023 with unprecedented accuracy. Missions like MERLIN help to gain a deeper insight into the mechanisms that influence climate on Earth. Data from the mission are processed and evaluated jointly and ...
Satellite data for everyday use Space-based observation of the Earth and its ecosystems enables the detection of changes in land surfaces, oceans and the atmosphere, as well as the development of measures for environmental and climate protection. Earth observation satellites quickly provide a clear view in cases of acute disasters like earthquakes, flooding or oil ...
Experimental space monitoring radar GESTRA (German Experimental Space Surveillance and Tracking Radar) is an experimental space monitoring radar designed to record the orbital data of satellites and debris in Low Earth Orbit at an altitude of between 300 and 3000 kilometres. It is expected to conduct its frst measurements from 2019. The radar is operated ...
