#DLRmagazine 153 – Sun at your fingertips

In the April issue of the DLRmagazine, we are switching on the Sun. This is, of course, artificial and reserved for solar researchers in Jülich! The honeycomb assembly of 149 individually controllable radiator modules achieves 10,000 times the intensity of the solar radiation at Earth' surface.

Further articles discuss the influence of bionics on aviation, lightweight rocket boosters for space travel and the human factors involved in transportation. One article takes us back to the Russian space station Mir and our scientific contributions to the MIR '92 and MIR '97 missions.
