 The Soyuz launch vehicle carrying TET-1 after launch on 22 July 2012. |
On 22 July 2012 at 08:41:39 CEST, the first small German satellite in
the 'On-Orbit-Verification' (OOV) programme was carried into orbit from
the Cosmodrome in Baikonur, Kazakhstan by a Russian Soyuz launch vehicle. TET-1 is a technology testbed with 11 experiments on board that will be operated in space for a year.
Conditions in space are very different to those on Earth - large temperature variations, microgravity and cosmic radiation. Components of satellites, the International Space Station and other systems must have the capacity to withstand these conditions while continuing to function reliably.
As part of its OOV programme, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is testing space technologies under actual space conditions.
