Topics

Resilient Satellite Control

Redundancy, robustness, cyber security – at the RSC³ we develop innovative architectures for resilient satellite systems.

On-Orbit/In-Space Servicing, Assembly & Manufacturing

ISAM/OSAM: a set of capabilities used on-orbit, on the surface of celestial bodies & in transit between these areas including repairing & refueling spacecraft, building structures & fabricating components in space as needed.

Laser Communication

Laser Communication Terminals offer a groundbreaking solution for high-speed transmissions. These compact systems ensure broadband data exchange between satellites and/or ground, concurrently enhancing security.

Data Integrity

We prioritize safeguarding space data integrity, where our focus spans from verifying satellite data authenticity to enhancing safety and efficiency in satellite ops, e.g. by tamper-proof databases for improved QA.

Space Surveillance

Early hazard detection and rapid response are the focus of space surveillance. Civil infrastructures and improved analysis algorithms offer new opportunities for an enhanced situational awareness.

Space Access, Mobility & Logistics

Satellites form the foundation of critical space infrastructure. To reliably and flexibly deploy them into orbit, RSC³ is working on creating the necessary requirements for launch infrastructure and mobility in space.

Hybrid Space Architecture

In the context of a hybrid space architecture, the RSC3 is researching the planing and coordination of a diverse group of satellites, formations and constellations ins space in order to holisticly strenghten the resilience and responsiveness of space based infrastructure.

Storable Payloads & Platforms

In the context of Responsive Space, the storage of satellites and components can be a sensible approach and is researched by RSC³.

Responsive Space -specific AIT-processes

The RSC³ is researching the conditions under which time can be saved in the AIT phase of satellites and their components.

Smallsat-based Reconnaissance

RSC³ is researching small satellite platforms and their ability to operate reconnaissance payloads.

National Symposium Responsive Space

Rocket engine technology

The RSC³'s Launch Segment department develops and tests various chemical propulsion technologies (solid and hybrid propulsion systems) and thus makes an important contribution to the centre of excellence.
