Lecture and observation
Prof. Stefan Schlechtriem from the German Aerospace Center takes us into the exciting development of European space travel with the topic "Ariane 6 the new heavy-lift rocket of Europe; where do we come from, where are we going!"
Ariane 6 represents the latest generation of European launch vehicles and secures Europe's independent access to space. In July 2024, Ariane 6 completed its successful maiden flight, heralding a new chapter in European space travel. It plays a key role in areas such as telecommunications, earth observation, navigation and space research. Through optimized manufacturing processes and advanced technology, it strengthens the European space industry and positions Europe competitively in the global market for satellite launches.
Prof. Stefan Schlechtriem is Director of the Institute of Space Propulsion at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). He is also a university professor at the Institute of Space Systems at the University of Stuttgart. One of his current research and development projects is the Ariane 6.
