TU Delft is expanding its space research capabilities with the launch of four new and upgraded Space Engineering laboratories. These state-of-the-art facilities will provide researchers, students, and industry partners with advanced tools to push the boundaries of space exploration, planetary science, and satellite technology.
Each laboratory serves a distinct purpose, from simulating extreme planetary environments to advancing satellite communications and space mission engineering. Together, they will play a vital role in developing sustainable space technologies with real-world applications, such as secure connectivity and climate monitoring. These labs enhance TU Delft’s capabilities to innovate for space—from concept to application, and from launch to end-of-life.
