DLR Bremen contributes to Maritime Week in Bremen

Maritime Week on the river Weser will showcase large sections of the prestigious Bremer research community along the Weser promenade on 23 and 24 September. In addition to the research of numerous scientific institutes with a maritime focus, visitors can expect to see renowned institutes presenting their work in a playful and entertaining way.

The DLR Institute of Space Systems will feature its current research topics and missions, for example using an interactive, full-scale model of the asteroid lander MASCOT. The DLR_School_Lab will stage an extensive interactive programme for visitors of all ages, focusing on the topic ‘Experiments to research planets and other celestial bodies’, including Mars rovers to investigate Martian landscapes, sample analysis for different soil types, simulation of a Mars landing, 3-D images of various planetary surfaces, as well as the launch of (water) rockets installed on site.

The Research Mile is open from 10:00 –18:00 on Saturday and Sunday; admission is free of charge.
