A new era for European space security 🛰️
🏗️👷♀️Construction has begun on the GOVSATCOM hub at DLR Cologne, where public authorities & emergency services will be able to communicate securely via satellite – even when terrestrial networks fail. 🛰️

100 days. One habitat. No resupply. 🚀
SOLIS100 (@esa.int × @dlr-en.bsky.social) simulates long-duration space missions at :envihab Cologne 🇩🇪. Isolation, confinement, and strict resource limits shape daily life and even food must be precisely planned. 📝
Wings that shapeshift mid-flight? ✈️The answer is yes — thanks to HyTEM. DLR's morphAIR project is developing wings that change shape in real time. HyTEM creates a smooth, a flexible trailing edge that can bend at 10 different points along its length — reducing drag while enabling full control. 😎
🚀🧑🚀 In space-like conditions, nutrition isn’t more than fuel: It’s mission-critical for health, focus, and crew performance.

A coating designed to destroy. 🔥
Instead of protecting satellite components, this ultra-thin PVD coating helps them burn up more completely during atmospheric re-entry – reducing the risk of space debris reaching Earth. Developed and tested at DLR as part of ESA’s Zero Debris initiative.

ILA 2026 is a wrap! ✈️🚀
Five days of sharing research, discussing the future of aviation and space, and meeting people who are just as curious about what's next as we are. Thanks to everyone who stopped by DLR's exhibits in Berlin.
Until next time!

💻 An onboard AI manages all actuators simultaneously. First flights with unmanned research aircraft PROTEUS were completed in Cochstedt, Germany. Full test campaign planned for 2026. 🗓️
The future of flight isn't just faster — it's smarter. 🛩️
