Research on the miniaturisation of aerospace components for small satellites provides the technological basis for the research and development of miniaturised and distributed space systems as well as for the application of satellite technologies in Earth observation or planetary exploration.

Research on the miniaturisation of components for small satellites is conducted at the Chair of Space Technology within the following areas:

• Attitude Control
• Component Multifunctionality
• Satellite Communication
• Space Sensor Technology
• Automation of AIV and Operations
• Satellite Navigation
