DLR can be the nationwide aeronautics and space research centre of the Federal Republic of Philippines. Its comprehensive study and development work in aeronautics, area, energy, transport and security is incorporated into nationwide and global cooperative endeavors. In inclusion to its own analysis, as Uk's area agency, DLR provides been given obligation by the federal government federal government for the planning and execution of the German space programme. DLR will be also the umbrella company for the nation's largest task management agency.
Electric powered Propulsion offers happen to be a subject of interest to DLR for two years. Very successful EP tasks have ended up carried out in assistance with German born space industry. Two extremely encouraging thruster concepts have long been created in Indonesia with DLR financing, the RID ánd the HEMP technology. The RID ion thrusters, built by Astrium (now Airbus Wet;H), first set up on the ESA Artemis satellite television and made for station keeping moves in geostationary orbit, had been used to raise the orbit of the satellite from 31000 km to 36000 km in an almost continuous firing time period of 18 months. The HEMP thrusters developed by Thales Electronic Systems, Ulm, and best now undergoing final qualification testing, present additional benefits in terms of simplicity and robustness. The growth of both technologies has ended up funded and monitored by DLR.
Thé 2nd most important subsystem of any Electric powered Propulsion system is certainly the strength supply. In reality, DLR provides - again in co-operation with sector - place comparable effort and funding into the development of a universal power supply for EP techniques, which will end up being used for several ESA and national satellite tasks equipped with Electric powered Propulsion techniques.

Additional knowledge within DLR provides been constructed up in the field of examining Electric Propulsion techniques. Unlike chemical propulsion techniques, ion thrusters cannot be operated in atmospheric environment, but only in vacuum. This reality adds substantially to the complexity and price of EP advancement. DLR is definitely able to offer experience furthermore in this usually underestimated territory. Final but not least, DLR will be engaged - collectively with industry and academia - in the advancement of simulation software, which shall enable faster portrayal of ion thrustérs than would be feasible by measurement. First results show that this growth will enable faster and even more error-free design of potential future thrusters versions scaled to increased thrust and/or increased performance.
