Between Earth and space: stratosphere-compatible, solar-powered high-altitude aircraft, known as HAPs (High Altitude Platforms), offer a sustainable alternative to satellites for Earth observation and communication. They are reusable, cost-effective and flexible in use. The DLR joint project HAP-alpha is developing such a technology demonstrator and is endeavoring to establish a complete system capable of permanent operation. The aim is for DLR to build up comprehensive expertise for the development of high-performance, high-flying solar aircraft and to play an active role in shaping the legal framework. In summer 2025, the HAP-alpha successfully passed a ground vibration test.

The RFcore Radar series are FMCW type radar and were developed to detect/track small air targets. The major difference between three models is detection performance. RX32B is fundamental model. RX128B have four times larger radar than RX32B. RX192A have six times larger radar then RX32B. The number of the product name means the number of antenna elements. All have compact and lightweight physical architecture that concentrates all the components required for radar, such as antenna, RF components and radar signal processor, in a small single housing. Transport can be carried in the carrier box and can be easily carried by one person. For installation, you can use a commercially available camera tripod. The weight is about 7.5kg (RX32B) and 15.9kg (RX128B), and the lower connection part is compatible with the tripod connection for the camera. Power supply requires 12VDC (RX32B) and 24VDC power (RX128B and RX192A). When using a battery, it is possible to connect a 12V battery or 24V battery to radars. Usage time may vary depending on the battery capacity. RFCORE recommended the constant power supply. Transfer of Status and BIT information and simple control of the RX32B, RX128B and RX192A are possible with a web browser using the Ethernet connection for authorized users. Using the terminal program provided with the radar, you can view the radar control and detected target information in real time. All RX Radar series’ Power Amp and Core Chip were designed using RFcore's own products.

MPS Microsystems is specialized in manufacturing high-precision, miniature linear bearings. We offer a comprehensive range of exceptionally smooth bearings with bore diameters from Ø 2 mm to Ø 6 mm. The balls of these precision bearings meet ‘Grade 3’, the highest quality defined by the ISO 3290/DIN 5401 standard. Combined with a cage and a high precision casing, they allow rapid positioning while reducing friction and eliminating the stick-slip effect. The standard version of MPS Microsystems linear bearings consists of a stainless steel bushing and balls, and a brass cage. An all-stainless steel version or one with ceramic balls can be made on request.

It is suitable for various low voltage and is safe low-voltage motor through thorough quality verification. Applications are AGV, AMR and Medical devices.

Whether satellites, spacecraft or space debris – GESTRA, the "German Experimental Surveillance and Tracking Radar", is a state-of-the-art radar system for observing and tracking objects in space. It operates in the microwave range and explores the Low Earth Orbit of 300 to 3,000 kilometres, i.e. the range in which most satellites and the International Space Station (ISS) are located. This makes it possible, for example, to protect space systems or the ISS from a collision with debris particles by providing a timely warning. Millions of tiny particles orbit the earth and, at a speed of around 28,000 km/h, pose a threat to active space technologies. GESTRA was developed and built by the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques FHR on behalf of the German Space Agency at DLR.
