A nice day for Danish space exploration. We broke ground on DTU Space’s new research building in Lyngby marking a huge step in expanding our space research capacity. DTU are investing DKK 2bn in space & defense over the next 5 yrs, including DKK 500m in research infrastructure🚀

DTU Space researchers, Giorgos Leloudas and Hannah Wichern, are among first recipients of Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science’s new “Into Change Award”. The award goes to the international astrophysics consortium ENGRAVE, where both are active. ufm.dk/en/research-an…

ESA: Denmark – and Europe – need to think BIG to compete and build resilient deep tech startups based on space technology and ideas. Read our new interview with ESA's Commercialisation Manager, Dr. Stefan Gustafsson, who recently visited Denmark: spaceventures.dk/resources/inte…

Excited to welcome Christyl C. Johnson, Deputy Associate Administrator at NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate, to DTU Space Denmark tomorrow. She’ll be joining us for the Gravity Club event at DTU/ESA BIC DK to discuss space tech entrepreneurship spacedenmark.dk/event/external…

Congratulations to Danish ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen on being named Global Dane of the Year 2025 (Årets Verdensdansker). An award presented by Danes Worldwide today at DTU Space - where he is adjunct professor - in recognition of his efforts to promote Denmark internationally

We’re very proud that the Danish satellite Bifrost 🛰️ with contributions from DTU Space - designed to monitor the Arctic around Greenland❄️- is now in orbit around Earth. Communication has been established, solar panels are charging and electrical systems are up and running 🇩🇰

First images from the SAR-instrument on ESA's Biomass-satellite are out: DTU Space scientists & experts contribute to this mission. In various channels we see; Green => rainforest Red => forested floodplains and wetlands Blue/purple => grasslands Black => rivers/lakes Source ESA

We’re pretty proud of our contribution to ESA’s new Biomass Earth observation mission based on SAR/Radar. The first images from the mission are being released this week at the Living Planet Symposium in Vienna (Illustration: ESA/ATG medialab) space.dtu.dk/english/about-…

DTU Space have contributed with navigation equipment based on digital camera technology and AI, crucial for ensuring the millimetre-precise distance between the two ESA Proba-3-satellites that produced this unique new image of the Sun's Corona. Image: ESA

Today, we are at ESA's Astronaut Centre in Cologne, reporting together with @Astro_Andreas Mogensen on the 10 Danish experiments – including 4 with DTU Space (3D print, Earthshine, Lightening in space, VR for astronauts) conducted during his mission to the space station 2023-24.

Et større detektivarbejde med 50 år gamle NASA-satellitdata kaster nyt lys på Antarktis’ havis. DTU Space-forskere & studerende har kortlagt havisen i 1970’erne. En vigtig brik i forståelsen af de rekordlave havis-niveauer i dag #klima #antarktis #dkforsk space.dtu.dk/om-os/nyheder/…

Vores forskere og eksperter hjælper også med at opklare lidt mere sære rum-fænomener - fx den blå lys-spiral på himlen over DK mandag. Iflg. Prof. John Leif Jørgensen og Michael L. Vørnle skyldtes den formentlig krystalliseret brændstof fra en SpaceX-raket videnskab.dk/rummet/som-en-…

A mission to the moon would be nice; Interview with Danish astronaut and adjunct professor at DTU -Technical University of Denmark - @Astro_Andreas Mogensen, on his work at the European Astronaut Centre, dreams of the Moon, and the beef with Elon Musk. space.dtu.dk/english/about-…

Made in space. Designed in Denmark🚀I dag har @Astro_Andreas overrakt os et unikt objekt. Et test-emne lavet i metal for første gang på rumstationen og designet af os. Nu skal det analyseres og sammenlignes med lignende objekter lavet på Jorden. Det er 1 af kun 4 lavet i rummet.

Klodens gletsjere smelter, fra Sydamerika til Grønland, ifølge Nature-studie med bidrag fra DTU Space-prof. Abbas Khan. 2000-2023 er der smeltet gletsjer-is svarende til, at 300.000 olympiske svømmebassiner hver dag i de 25 år er tømt ud i havet #dkforsk space.dtu.dk/om-os/nyheder/…

Vi har meget at bidrage med, når Danmark opruster for at kunne forsvare danske territorier. Det skriver vi og @DanskIndustri om på Altinget op til Statsministeriets 'oprustningsmøde' i dag: #forsvar #dkforsk altinget.dk/forsvar/artike…

Stort tillykke til de tre DTU-folk på Akademikerbladets liste over mediernes mest citerede eksperter 2024: Professorerne Kirsten Halsnæs, Karen Timmermann samt fra DTU Space prof. John Leif Jørgensen - listens eneste rumforsker/teknologi-ekspert #dkforsk dm.dk/akademikerblad…

DTU's nye bestyrelsesleder Margrethe @vestager har besøgt os her på DTU Space med institutdirektør Henning Skriver som vært. Vestager ville i dialog om vores aktiviteter på rumteknologi og rumbaseret klimaforskning - Ikke bare høre oplæg. Det kom der nogle gode dialoger ud af.
