Research Projects

  • Development of a multi-user facility for quantum experiments in the Einstein-Elevator by integrating an ISS express rack
    The project aims to develop a multi-user express rack that serves as an interface between the Einstein-Elevator and the scientific experiments on the ISS and is based on the standardized sizes of the International Standard Payload Rack (ISPR). Technical specifications such as power supply, communication systems, and cooling must be adapted to the special environmental conditions of the Einstein-Elevator to support and validate current and future ISS research projects efficiently.

  • Laser-based additive manufacturing of metal parts from powder in microgravity
    The aim of this research project is the development of a laser-based additive manufacturing process for the production of metal parts from powder in microgravity. The approach is based on the "Laser Metal Deposition" (LMD) process known for earth gravity.
