Einstein-Elevator

• Multifunctional Measurement System for Microgravity Research

  The aim of this research project is to develop a sensor system for research in weightlessness. The system should be able to record and process relevant data.

  Led by: M. Sc. Richard Sperling

  Year: 2024

  Funding: Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony (MWK)

  Duration: 01.01.2024 - 30.06.2024
• Microgravity Assembly for Acceleration Testing

  The aim of this research project is to develop a module that records and evaluates microgravity data within an Orbital Paradigm orbiter. The orbiter is to be used within low Earth orbit.

• Experiment carrier for the Einstein-Elevator

  An essential Component of the Einstein-Elevator at the Hannover Institute of Technology (HITec) is an experiment carrier, that is used inside the Einstein-Elevators gondola. In collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the Institute for Transport and Automation Technology is developing a low-vibration carrier. The aim is to use the system to carry out various experiments under microgravity.
