Partnering for Performance in Aerospace Research
In aerospace projects, no one entity can achieve everything alone. That’s why partnerships across borders and transdisciplinary research look back on a long history since the early beginning of aerospace research. The most exciting research projects nowadays try to make life on the moon and mars possible, facing several challenges.
The DEAR (Dusty Environment Application and Research) project, for example, exemplifies the power of collaboration. This project focuses on investigating methods to remove lunar dust (regolith) from sensitive spacecraft and spacesuit surfaces. Since lunar dust is already one of the most challenging substances to manage in aerospace projects, maintaining the clarity of transparent components like helmet visors becomes even more complex. At the same time, these components are essential for the success of future space missions.
LPKF's technology was essential in supporting this research by providing precision laser systems that helped design and create intricate patterns on PET films, a critical part of the dust-removal experiments.
