Building on their historic partnership in space research, CNES and ONERA, the French aeronautics, space and defence research laboratory, are joining forces to address new challenges in the field of launchers and satellites.
TERRISCOPE is a research platform dedicated to airborne imagery for studying the environment and territories. TERRISCOPE is aimed at promoting the emergence of new services, especially from the drone line. Its development has started in January 2016 and will take 3 years.
At the Toulouse International Congress ERTS2 2016 (embedded real-time systems and software), ONERA and the company RTaW combined efforts to present a joint paper, developed within the framework of their collaboration agreement in the field of critical embedded systems.
DGAC continues to support ONERA in its research on understanding and modeling the physics of icing and its effects on the various components of an aircraft. An agreement was signed on December 14, 2015.
The ALTAIR project is a European H2020 project coordinated by ONERA and involving partners from six countries. The goal is to demonstrate the industrial feasibility of a low-cost launching system for small satellites. This research program will last 36 months.
This weekend begins the most famous solar-powered car race : the World Solar Challenge 2015 in Australia. ONERA will closely follow “Punch One”, a prototype car of KU Leuwen student team (Belgium), which benefitted from aerodynamic testing in the wind tunnel L2 Lille.
