Winners of the First Payload Contest for the maiden flight of the German Spectrum microlauncher: DLR Responsive Space Cluster Compentence Center (RSC³), Trauen
The DLR Responsive Space Cluster Compentence Center (RSC³), based at the AeroSpace Park on DLR’s Trauen site in Lower Saxony, will have its MSAE-OTTERS mission on board the maiden flight by Spectrum, a German microlauncher developed by Isar Aerospace Technologies. The primary aim is to develop and launch a small satellite in the space of just nine months. This requires the standard development and preparation processes to be accelerated considerably, which should benefit satellite development in future.
