By Falko Schoklitsch Developed and built at TU Graz, TUGSAT-1 made Austria into a space nation when it was launched into orbit ten years ago.

By Susanne Filzwieser From the first Austrian in space and the "Ferrari of space" to the icy moons of Jupiter, TU Graz has been an integral part of international space research for years.

By Falko Schoklitsch Europe lacks groundwater - a lot of groundwater. The continent has already been suffering from a severe drought since 2018.

With 19 experiments, the analog mission of the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF) in Oman will serve for preparation for a manned mission to Mars.

The situation in Kenya is serious - there has been too little rain for more than a year. With the aid of satellite data, TU Wien is measuring moisture content in the soil in order to better assess the risk of drought.

PRETTY is the third CubeSat mission of TU Graz. The satellite is being built together with RUAG Space and should be launched into space in 2020.

The electric motor is a tried-and-tested concept. This, however, does not mean that there is no more space for revolutionary improvements.

The launch of the Chinese research satellite 'Micius' marks the dawn of a new era of global quantum communication.

TU Graz to participate in Austria's biggest research event on 22 April - an entertaining opportunity to experience science and engineering research live.

For ten years ESA's Envisat satellite observed the rapid retreat of one of Antarctica's ice shelves due to climate warming. Helmut Rott, Professor at the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, follows this development since the start of the mission. One of the satellite's first observations following its launch on 1 March 2002 was the break-up of a main section of the Larsen B ice shelf in Antarctica - when 3200 sq km of ice disintegrated within a few days due to mechanical instabilities of the ice masses triggered by climate warming.

From October 24-26, 2011, a group of 15 comet researchers from Germany, France, Finland and Austria met at the Institute of Chemical Engineering, TU Vienna.

The Vening Meinesz Medal was awarded to Harald Schuh for his work in the field of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and his important contribution to space geodetic research.
