on the sand pits and upper austria, sides of gale north grim is public presentation of the austrian space forms upcoming mission to march, the more than the romance of space. it's the multi $1000000000.00 economic opportunity that officials say austria should not ignore the media space. lady, not the most, for you might one day become a brand into these could be seen as the both of it also stuff inside the, the mars rovers are drawing special attention developed for the upcoming mission by australian german students. they're designed to explore on familiar terrain as autonomy. slowly as possible. i far ahead and drive the price it use the public the rate it was ready to face day.

we training to get ready for armenia. no, no, everything is perfect to yet, but that's why we do these exercises. there are still 5 months to sort out minor issues and he councils, which i think for the students from germany's university avoid support. it's an opportunity to meet other teams and exchange ideas. how's their project coming along? a demo, and that's just simply, gramma won't fundamentally change. now we've locked it in again, some, a hermas main task is to scan for things, and she can do that. well, we want to keep automating the whole system time you've had the same goes for charlie. charlie drives more autonomously than irma, but still not fully the general take away. there's still a lot to do before armenia in the hall. the analog astronauts are getting suited up which can take up to 3 hours on the commodities is being fitted with the excess

skeleton, which simulates movement under the pressure conditions on mars. the top thomas and the title. i read an article in the paper at home, which said that the austrian space for him was looking for new analog astronauts because i find space travel exciting. i checked out the website, read it and thought, oh i have to try that on you come a lease, studied micro biology and environmental engineering like everyone here. she's an analog astronaut in her spare time. today her colleague is from italy on because from slow and in eastern germany, yes, of course was i, i'm looking for, i have an option. i think we'll see how it goes with all those sensors. we've already tested where they contribute and how all that can work well. the analog astronauts, we're sensors under the 50 kilograms suits to measure their exertion while they follow various instructions. the google knows the board

decided to take a break, the more the the price that must be done. but i don't know if you can see you, but i'm very sweaty. it's about 32 degrees celsius in the suit, and this suits a very heavy. so every movement is exhausting. august been that's what i'm very satisfied because the sensors appear to have worked in this picture. quality was good. so we did what we plan to do and things are okay. the new space is also garnering interest in neighboring. the various stuff on police

yank is pitching its possibilities to representatives of germany's chamber of commerce. um, you know, it must be long mosque is going ahead and launching thousands of satellites and to face to provide internet insight into the commercial use of space is just exploding right now. the one we want to build rockets like cars to get satellites into orbit and we're looking at a multi trillion dollar space economy based economy rocket factory aims to launch rockets once a week, providing its customers with an inexpensive way to bring satellites into orbit the outs book startup has partnered with a german aerospace center. the aim is to form a partnership between old space and new space. you couldn't hear. this allows us to build on technologies that have already been developed here. if you to the ones in english,

you would say you're standing on the shoulders of giants. step on patient popes, the space race collaboration will provide a competitive advantage. the government organization is impressed by the boldness of these young entrepreneurs. new space, move space springs, a different mindset. one that ultimately helps make space exploration to 5 and it's application success. simple, affordable and relevant. before everyone done month, visit each finish things each man or depending on how you calculate and this will be a market comparable to the automotive industry investment. that's what i spent. and it tells me that the expectations are high, not only within the industry, students in what's bar cope, new space initiatives will create many new, interesting, and high caliber jones. the

several months have passed since the trial for armenia in the austrian san pitt. what's the status of the rovers? are they now ready for their extra terrestrial mission? and so the use of my husband said, since i'm very confident the astronauts in armenia will have no problems controlling the robot ice glasses. the mars mission will begin soon. 3 rooms away there, professor and today is new stuff is on a call with members of the austrian space for the intent was the motivation, you know, mean here is incredible. we're seeing an amazing response from the local community, the media, and also on the political side. i'm really looking forward to it. it's going to be exciting. you know. okay, thank good. is that? oh, i got it. and what's the status

of the rover charlie? 45 degrees laugh 20 meters for desks by the window. have become a control center. will charlie make it up the i see hill somewhere you'll make up with us after the hills been concord of the 3000 kilometers further north, near the arctic circle in sweden. the step on position is on his way to the s range and space center, where rocket factory is performing full scale combustion tests on it's rocket

engines. the said we've been conducting major tests here for 3 years, and i live on the task that we do here. are in fact, the biggest and most dangerous tests that have ever been done on the side is history. if you mind taking a look at these isolated frozen forests, our home to europe's 1st spaceport, the rocket factory has rented one of the testing sites. it's helix engine developed in house support is installed on the test stand. today they will be performing a hot fire test, meaning that the kerosene field rocket engine will be ignited as it would during a real launch because he had guns that i'm very interested in seeing what's been

done. i want to go over all the changes we made myself. i can ok to ensure we can proceed with this test today with a clear conscience can, can everything's ready for the test and just running a few test sequences since it's extremely cold. today i always have that kind of the good half point, the documents she felt today, pests cannot fail, it has to get in. let's see here. see, and what we're seeing here is the result of 5 years of work. we have multiple, there's engine number 2 and engine number 3. that is the 3rd engine we've ever built on the front position from position to fight. if something goes wrong, 5 years of work will be wasted. yeah. okay. all right, so let me stick him up. and if something goes wrong today, i'll just get up there and jump on that and i don't even think about it. the startups existence depends on the trust of investors to maintain funding. they need to see positive results. the,

the skies over the s range space center are closed to air traffic tonight. and security levels are at a maximum. the helix engine produces half a 1000000 horsepower. if it goes out of control, there could be a real rocket launch. the head of ignition officials ordered the area to be evacuated numbers you can give it yet, so it's interesting get tougher than this. chrisy cod attempting to pull this off at minus 30 degrees in the middle of the night will easily affect everyone here. so they'll say you'll be feeling this a week from now, it won't just be over by tomorrow, long provides you once blaming them in, you know, in a while summer leaving the area. others are performing final system checks them an

unexpected turn. ok. ok, we need to advise a regular one regulator. it's heating up. i know to know science that we didn't know if we can't reach the necessary pressure yet. and this is the last step. we're going to be sure it's one of the coldest, the test page we've ever had. we'll leave it for today and give it another try tomorrow. one long clicking on said ok. welcome to the real good business start using business delays are a fact of life in the business. but europe is eager to become independent of space x and star link, eager to develop competitive european launch vehicles. these will allow the continental to deploy its own low or bit satellite internet system, but then board that is already becoming cluttered with debris. particles only millimeters and size can destroy satellite $9000.00 tons of space debris already orbit the earth. only

a fraction of the pieces is larger than 10 centimeters. get the many smaller pieces are also dangerous, the based on the search space every is a serious problem. as of this, this issue needs to be tackled much more proactively because there is a risk that space, particularly low earth orbit. the sea could become so polluted that we lose access to space. in the long term, it would be a good time with long this digital events, all space faring nation should be invested in this island, or based on that, i believe europe could take a pioneering role. here we come back over 24. i told all i name in the space may be endless, but near earth, orbits vital for satellites or not. these orbits are seen as key for the success of efforts toward greener, digital future,

or satellite infrastructure to fail. much of modern life would be paralyzed. the austrian space for him is well aware of the issue, commissions by an investor, they're working on solutions. you can use. we now going into a most sensitive rooms in here with building testing and developing hardware that will actually fly in space like this is candace. he said no, the simulation, it's the real thing was i could go down as well. um on the somebody it'd be to be off. let's take a look at the sensor. the originally is currently flying 500 kilometers above us. searching for space to bring comfort. so if it takes the smallest particles moving at high speeds in low hole, but now case we want to be here of the austrian space spawn has specialized in tracking the smallest pieces of space

debris to do this, they develop special circuit boards, but listen in space like a microphone. if this technology works, the investor plans to start a company that collects space debris data and sells it to satellite operators. between here and paid and i easy part of a send would structure me to find the gloss composites with conductive elements. let me this allows us to detect a tiny as pieces of space, debris, and which can cause damage on the note as much damage as a fist sized object. we can track the millions of tiny particles that float around up. then. in the spring of 2023, the form launched at the 2nd research satellite into orbit using an american rocket . at the end of its life span popular to like its predecessor will burn up in arts atmosphere. this was find somewhat of a slightly thrilling as was launch with space 6 and for a previous satellite launch with the virgin galactic. and so that thing went up 500

kilometers. if i've never been so glued to a monitor binding my thinking aisles, the 2nd launch was a bit smoother. we already had more experience and more trusty. now colleagues of mine, we launched with a felt and knowing that time to pulling several small satellites at once. and by chance we sold that al satellite was deployed near armenia. that's what you're trying to get us so nicely. so when we do a simulation in armenia, we can use arrow in satellite to take out satellite images. it's an amazing feeling when 2 projects come together like these. when you get side slicing play, could somebody call me at the, at the foot of mount airy ranch near the village of our motion armenia. the austrian space for him is mars mission is set to begin. a visitor check and station has already been set up. the 2 employees stand guard, keeping out any unwanted guess.

the dental groom is already on site. he has to the test area and and off road vehicle. why did he choose armenia via the we know that re geological formations here that a geological twins of those on most so called g o. similar is, even though that's the reason we came here, it cannot the 5 to you know, get it onto 52. after checking in at the village again, let's makes a 2nd stop. this is the check point. this is my check point. this is thought about security detailed in good day, you 247 guiding access to the test sign box. and in the took it some tests getting their cameras a set up on the surrounding hilltops, skilled a. so we have round the clock surveillance and a little bit about who problem the region recently experienced conflict over in the

going to car box. no one wants to take any risks. the security provisions are in place, but despite meticulous planning, not everything is running smoothly. the armenian partner didn't complete the infrastructure in time. what are you doing? i'm not sure it was. i mean, i mean, what are you doing? okay, this lack of internet access is causing issues with the teams from glossy, university of technology and of what's for against the to for informatics are looking for solutions. and then we need to enter some things here. uh gigabyte, maybe a gigabyte. is there a little weird really? it should be here, but it just says ross log or ross that it's communication on earth is this challenging? how will it be in space?

at least the gloss university rover is working. nothing by the victim. it's still a long way to mars the visitor at the university are also interested in researching the fundamentals. it does not really start, it's important to test each individual component over technology is driving innovation and fields like robotics sensors and communications. these fields are benefiting from funding provided by national and european sources, such as the european space agency, as well as private donors. this is can in focus august on the, you know, simply johnson. and if we went to moms we'd get, we know and can't do. now it wouldn't be very dangerous and probably not very productive scientifically. the boss. that's why we need to learn in moms like environment's house at best to utilize our resources. it's exciting dog but the mars mission is delayed. even the habitat we're astronaut, sorts of live and research on site isn't ready yet. hire us letting young

a member of the armenian team faced, unexpected challenges instead of conducting research, everyone is setting up. yeah. yeah, i know its clermont prefers not to speak about the emissions challenging start the analog astronauts on a come a lease also didn't expect her sabbatical to go like this is. this is tresley, stressful. and there's always that period in the 1st few days before everything officially kicks off, where things aren't running smoothly yet. but i've never experienced it quite like this before on this slightly. while summer struggling with the situation. others are tackling it with gusto to armenian members of the mission or setting up a wifi connection. i'm interested this past because i'm a drinking engineering, and i all main goal is to have my own and fox can push industry,

i think, glenville, or young. and we are like still child, we always wants to become notes for notes as we have the passion of exploring every scene. and i think that's why we are so interested inside everyone. yeah, higher as one young has big plans to in soviet times, armenians were involved in building sputnik, the 1st step of life, and the 1st mars rover. now he hopes this mission will revitalize armine as role and space exploration. to make a new be good to them. and when you look at the, because you how big is it? so all of them should be good. yeah. there was, i don't know, i learned at the end of the day the garage team hands over there, over to the space for him. the futuristic vehicle has inspired

a group of armenian students dreaming of a promising future in the space industry. the, [000:00:00;00] the up north, the temperature has risen dramatically. instead of minus 30, it's now only minus 15 degrees. the weather is no longer an obstacle in the test is a go. it has to succeed. stefan pollution wants to get an update on the pressure regulator that caused problems yesterday from test engineer jonathan ross. here's the man, so no worries it and, and normally this, this works well yesterday this one didn't work that time. then we went down about

minus 15 months or we made that for today or not on the phone. he think this is a heating cable. we managed to get this morning. i'm on the ensure that the whole regulator stays in the warm and all the seals of work life. and it's a shame we couldn't run the test yesterday because we didn't have this one. the component testing quotes step on patient brings the pressure regulator, now fitted with better cold installation to its designated spot to meet the engine . he doesn't want to leave anything to chance. that's good. it's good. i'll get ready to go. ready for this hot fire today. rocket engines always push components to their limits. if even one part fails, everything can end in a fiery explosion. and swim quick mitsubishi working on a project like this is absolutely unique. phoenix up, there are few jobs out there that spark as much motivation as being involved in

a rocket laundry until the people are passionate about it would depend and there is nothing more important to them to give us time for final instructions in the control room to try to not leave the room, no shedding, no questions. all right, is everyone full concentration of the final countdown? 6310. the,

the engine shuts off unexpectedly. was there another problem? the goal was to fire the engine for 160 seconds. the. so what i saw on the camera is that the few of the sensors probably gone away from the by the guess, i think that's why a few of the senses have failed. the 166, look the stablish 22nd to the controller stop. the test is the off the face travel is incredibly difficult. i'm up. every thing is that the absolute limit. so we engineers, we as a team, have to test as often as possible to push things right to the edge. their safety system worked, the engine didn't spin out of control. but the goal everyone had set their sights on 160 seconds of continuous operation remains out of reach

the the, the northern lights shimmer in the sky. the same sky chiffon felicia hopes to reach with his rockets one day in the space industry. emotional highs and lows are close, sped colors. anyone working here needs to handle frustration? well, even ellen musk didn't succeed every time for stefan. please. shank, there's no turning back

the do you got to take me? these are keeping everything about rockets. technology is so incredibly difficult, you're working so close to the limit that indian and see the find yourself getting very close to the laws that gone or whoever created the universe headset. and then you realize that while these laws are fixed and so you can get much further than you originally thought. thank you very the back to the austrian space forums. mars mission. the space habitat may not be finished. but 2 analog astronauts are being prepped for their 1st extra vehicular activity. soon, a 6 member crew is set to live in these quarters in isolation and for 4 weeks the, the check the part of the family. today we're just going to do

a short exploration around for habitat and trying to see what the grounds like when walking. and so i take photos and do a brief drive at the quads to see how well they work. so it's just a short 1st test, as long as they themselves will probably never make it to space, but they feel they're part of a larger mission. the being the, the, i mean, my real mazda expedition happens. i might already be retired, so i'll be able to say i put in the screws up with. but my younger colleagues might be in the middle of their own korea's by then when i'm talking with labeled, already built a bridge to the future as i'm being involved in this. i think many people in outline of wood can see that that

a privilege to contribute to the pico india the cities is tackling its garbage problem. who is in that group. they've been cpg, whose number of visitors produced funding dates. waste disposal has been a complete mess. now supervisors are supposed to bring order to the chaos. 10 waste wanting move. mountains of fresh eco india. in 30 minutes, d w,

the new will tell here. we are happy that we are boxing the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use force and for the present in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. news africa. in 90 minutes on d w. the this says he is hungry for the future. so i'm saying in southwest china, 32000000 people live here. many of them i yeah. it's not even so big. it has so many people. there must be a way to do business here now, except my parents wanted me to become a civil service, but i didn't like the idea of getting such an old fashioned job and being stuck

with 3 coming through making money. having a son with non fools injunction stuff. december 13th on d, w. the . this is, they don't even use these are i top stories for type circulating on social media face to show its limits. rebels in syria heading towards the central city of homes as a seas more territory from government forces. i've already taken the cities of alaska and how much since i surprise offensive a big on days ago, capturing homes would bring them a step closer to seizing the capital of damascus. the eu has concluded a large scale free trade agreement with the full countries of south america's
