R&D case: Advanced Payload Control and Onboard Data Processing
Current SmallSat avionics are not suitable for commercial SmallSat missions. The challenge is to get to a solution with a proper balance between size, versatility, reliability, robustness to the space environment and cost effectiveness.
New small-scale hydrogen production and testing facility
NLR and ROGER have signed an agreement to establish a small-scale hydrogen production and testing facility at NLR’s Marknesse location. Both partners share the vision that green hydrogen will emerge as a versatile and clean alternative to fossil fuels for mobility and heavy machinery.
