Responsive Space – Research of resillient space infrastructure
"Responsive Space Capabilities" refers to the responsive provision of space-based services to adapt to changing needs in space infrastructure. The Responsive Space Cluster Competence Center (RSC³) is building a technological foundation within the context of "Responsive Space" and conducting related technology demonstrations to make future space infrastructure more resilient. The RSC³ organization reflects the segments of a holistic space system. It addresses research focuses on the timely and resilient availability of ground control centers, launch systems, and orbiting platforms through its three departments: the Launch Segment, Ground Segment, and Space Segment. A cross-sectional department, Technology Demonstration, showcases the implementation of concepts from these segments through missions. The facility is headquartered at the DLR site in Trauen.

AeroSpacePark Trauen – Vision 2035
Space-based systems are playing an increasingly important role in security in Germany and Europe. The critical infrastructure of space must be protected. This includes the ability to equip small satellites weighing up to 500 kilograms with instruments and sensors for communication, navigation and earth observation within a few days or even hours, to place them in near-earth orbits and operate them there. In short, this is known as 'Responsive Space' capability. The starting signal for the AeroSpacePark Trauen was given at the DLR site in Trauen on September 1, 2020. It is intended to serve as a center for bundling national expertise in the field of 'Responsive Space'. Technologies in the entire architecture, consisting of space, ground, launch and mission segments, are to be investigated and further developed in Trauen. As the center for aerospace research in Germany, DLR has the expertise in the diverse areas of technology required to implement Vision 2035.
