The University of Stuttgart stands for pioneering research and innovation in aerospace. We develop instruments for interplanetary probes, robotic systems, and spacesuits for exploring unknown spheres in space. We build and test satellite systems for global communication networks and Earth observation and explore concepts to reduce the environmental footprint of space travel. We develop methods and technologies for low-emission flying and investigate concepts, construction methods, materials and propulsion systems for future intelligent aircraft systems. In this way, our researchers contribute to climate protection and biodiversity conservation.
Our research is interdisciplinary and networked. Engineering sciences, electrical engineering, energy and communication technology, lightweight construction, materials science, physics, and geodesy are all interlinked. Together with partners from science and industry, sustainable technical solutions for pressing social challenges are being developed. The University of Stuttgart is one of Germany’s leading research and teaching locations for aerospace technology. An excellent infrastructure, including several wind and plasma wind tunnels, an altitude test stand, and a satellite control center, creates the optimal conditions for research and teaching. This is how we train the engineers of tomorrow.
With our research, we are laying the foundations for aerospace that combines technological excellence and responsibility for the environment.
