The mobile detection system detects drones at an early stage. It can also determine their position.

In this scenario, the interceptor drone detects the intruding drone and pursues it. DLR has already successfully demonstrated various drone defence measures.

Are there planets similar to Earth? Do they orbit stars like our Sun? How do planetary systems form and evolve? To answer these and other questions, ESA will launch the PLATO mission at the end of ...

After its arrival, the PLATO spacecraft was unloaded from its container and brought into the cleanroom. Here it is tilted into a horizontal position on a rolling platform. The spacecraft is covered ...

ESA’s PLATO spacecraft in one of the cleanrooms at ESA's ESTEC Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, after installation of the sunshield and solar module. The probe is ...

Countless dust devils have swept across the terrain, removing the reddish dust along their paths. A single active dust devil and its shadow can be seen in the centre of this CaSSIS image.

Engineers at OHB in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, inspect Plato's newly installed cameras on the spacecraft's optical bench – the structure that keeps all cameras firmly pointed in the right direction.

Slightly time-shifted image channels make it possible to observe the movement and direction of the dust devils directly.

After its arrival in the ESTEC cleanroom, the spacecraft was placed in a tent that supplies the clean air required for its sensitive optical instruments. At this stage it is still covered with a ...

Uncrewed stratospheric aircraft, also known as high-altitude platforms (HAPs), offer a sustainable alternative to satellites for Earth observation and communication tasks. HAPs can be manufactured and ...
