ONERA has signed a contract with NanoAvionics for the procurement of two 8U and 6U nanosat platforms, dedicated to the FlyLab mission.

Between 17 October and 31 October 2022, the Scaled Flight Demonstrator (SFD) developed in the frame of Clean Aviation made 19 flights for a total of 8 flight hours, taking off from and landing at Aeroporto di Taranto-Grottaglie in Italy.

At the beginning of October, ONERA (the French Aerospace Lab) signed a consortium agreement with the Australian Astronomical Optics (AAO-Macquarie) and the Grenoble-based company ALPAO.

The MICROSCOPE mission has delivered its latest results and has confirmed the equivalence principle with unprecedented accuracy of 10-15.  These results show that bodies fall in a vacuum with the same acceleration regardless of their composition or mass, meaning that the principle of equivalence

On 30 March 2022, the maiden flight of a scaled version of a single-aisle aircraft, known as the Scaled Flight Demonstrator (SFD), took place.

Airbus, Dassault Aviation, ONERA, the French Ministry of Transports and Safran have launched the first in-flight study of a single-aisle aircraft running on unblended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The second phase of experimentation of the APOS-UE Project (Advanced Position & Orientation System for Urban Environment) of the European Defence Agency has just been completed at the French Army's Urban WarfareTraining Centre (CENZUB).

As longstanding partners in space research, CNES and ONERA are joining forces and combining their
expertise to address new challenges in the fields of launchers, satellites and space data applications.
