Innovation Center Prof. Dr. techn. Martin Tajmar

Space Systems

The Space Systems Innovation Center conducts a broad range of research, developing pioneering space technologies. The research focus is primarily in the area of novel propulsion systems and future concepts, with the development of unique test rigs and sensors in addition to engines and components, which we can make available to our customers. We find solutions for "impossible" problems!
