In the large ceremonial hall of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, State Secretary Gotthardt handed over the funding decisions amounting to €2 million to the Zentrum für Telematik e.V. (ZfT) and the partners of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. The aim is to investigate the VLEO environment for CubeSats. The ZfT is already doing pioneering work worldwide in this field with the small satellite missions LoLaSat in telecommunications and CuBy in earth observation, which are currently being realized.
