Certification - Onera, certified ISO 9001
Press release - Mars 11, 2010
On March 8, 2010, Onera received its ISO 9001 quality certificate from Bureau Veritas for "directing and conducting research in aerospace and defense". Onera joins the very select club of public research organizations having earned ISO 9001 certification for all of its activities.

Aerospace Science - First issue of Aerospace Lab Journal
Aerospace Lab is an open access electronic journal dedicated to scientific progress in aeronautics and space research. Its featured technical fields therefore include aerodynamics, propulsion, materials, structures, physics, sensors, information processing, and systems engineering.

Radars - When radars meet wind turbines
Wind turbines disturb the operation of radars, especially weather radars. Under these circumstances, it's easier to understand why three quarters of all refusals for wind turbine installation permits are due to the presence of weather radars. However, this also provides an opportunity for Onera to bring its expertise to the fore.

Laser - Onera supports "Year of the Laser" in France
Press release - January 14, 2010
The laser was invented 50 years ago, in 1960. To celebrate this landmark anniversary, France launched the “Year of the Laser” at the Palais de la Découverte science and technology museum in Paris on January 7. Since its creation, the laser has revolutionized a number of sectors, especially metrology, or the art of measurement, leading to the development of a host of applications in aerospace and other sectors. Onera, the leading French aerospace research center, has focused on increasing the power and reducing the size of lasers since the outset, contributing to a continuous increase in performance and the scope of applications. Today, Onera is one of the world leaders in lasers, a cutting-edge technology that still harbors a world of potential.
