Aerospace… is the technology driver for high-tech developments par excellence: smaller, lighter, more efficient and extremely energy efficient are not just keywords but the framework for every space project. A comprehensive research and training programme ranging from the fundamentals of rocket and satellite technology to scientific payloads and experiments is offered by the Chair of Space Systems.

Flying is one of the oldest dreams of humankind, and it is more topical than ever. Constant novel developments in the fields of aerodynamics, aircraft engines, aviation structures and aircraft design make aircrafts ever more efficient and usable for everyone. At the Chair of Aircraft Engineering we provide the necessary expertise to help you participate in this dream as an aviation engineer.

The focus of the Chair of Flight Mechanics and Control is on the control of parameter varying systems and the robustness analysis of said systems. The research is not limited to classical aeronautical systems, but also investigates modern space systems and green technologies such as wind turbines. A major research drive is bridging the gap between theoretical advances in control theory and complex industrial applications.

The research and teaching of the Honorary Professorship for Planetary Infrastructures focuses on key technologies for habitats for lunar and Mars missions to provide future astronauts with food, oxygen and a water recycling capacity. Prof Schubert is Deputy Head of Department for System Analysis Space Segments at the DLR Institute of Space Systems in Bremen and is known for his research on habitats such as the EDEN initiative.
