Independant and rapid access to space, the mobility of space systems and secured supply chains are important research topics for securing critical space infrastructure in times of peace and times of crisis.
The RSC³ investigates the resilient structure of a European launch infrastructure and the short-term availability and interchangeability for the rapid deployment of small satellites, the use of orbital stages as satellite platforms, the requirments for rapid orbit changes and the development of a logistics infrastructure in space. Together with the DLR Institute for Flight Guidance and DLR Space Operations and Astronaut Training (RB), questions about safe and secure ascent trajectories as well as air and space traffic management (ATM/STM) are being scientifically investigated.
