摘要

The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1667 “Advancing Technologies of Very Low Altitude Satellites—ATLAS” was established in April 2024 with the scientific goal of addressing the fundamental challenges of making satellite operations in Very Low Earth Orbits (VLEO) sustainable. These orbits are beneficial for satellite services that have become indispensable to our modern society. Moreover, access to VLEO offers the opportunity to operate satellites without exposure or contribution to the increasing contamination of traditional orbits with space debris. Seventeen highly interlinked research projects have been selected to investigate and advance accurate numerical and experimental methods for gas–surface interactions, novel concepts utilising the residual atmosphere and minimising the satellite sizes, and mission-related challenges of a selected scenario. In addition, support projects cover topics related to public outreach and academic exchange and assist in achieving the strategic goal of positioning the University of Stuttgart as a key contributor to this internationally very important research area. In summary, the CRC ATLAS aims to constitute a research-oriented profile-building measure at the University of Stuttgart with a strong international reputation.
