Bringing together the competences of 17 institutes, the Fraunhofer Space Alliance conducts applied research for space in the ... field of industrial space technology. Space industry applications and services have become an indispensable part of daily life, underpinning the importance of space technology for modern industrialized society. The importance of astronautics for our daily life becomes clear when you take a closer look: satellites can be used to detect illegal deforestation or environmental pollution; to determine connections between climatic changes and noxious effects, which also enables scenarios for possible pandemics to be created; or to exchange messages globally in real time. Environmental protection, resilience, communication - these are just three of the numerous socially relevant issues that the institutes of the Fraunhofer Space Alliance address. Our institutes pool their technological expertise in order to provide the space industry and funding agencies such as the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Commission with a central point of contact. Therefore Fraunhofer acts as systems provider, developing a wide range of top-quality components, integrating them into an overall system and delivering that system to the customer. The sheer technological variety of the participating institutes enables us to offer our customers a unique range of services. Furthermore the Fraunhofer Space Alliance and its institutes have contributed to many different space missions. read more
