Explore

The “Explore” division deals with the robotic and remote-controlled exploration of unknown areas, be it with a rover, a drone or a submarine (ROV).
As in the “Habitat” division, there are many opportunities for synergies between terrestrial and extraterrestrial areas of application. For example, rovers and drones developed for Mars can just as easily be used in disaster areas or to explore a damaged reactor.

At first glance, it is difficult to make the connection between submarines and space travel. On closer inspection, however, both the deep sea and outer space are areas that have not yet been explored to any great extent. A submarine offers low-threshold opportunities to research the power supply, communication and autonomy of exploration vehicles on earth and then transfer them to space-specific applications.
