In Cologne, DLR is active in the research fields of aeronautics, space, transport, energy and security. The backbone of research and development is formed by large-scale research facilities such as wind tunnels, engine and material test stands and a high-flux density solar furnace.

ESA’s European Astronaut Centre (EAC) in Cologne, Germany, is the European center of excellence for astronaut training, operations and space medicine. Home to ESA’s astronaut corps, it equips Europeans to fly to the International Space Station today, while preparing for an exciting future of space exploration beyond low Earth orbit.
