TET-1  

Definition

  • TET-1 (Technologie Erprobungs Träger-1) is a German technology demonstration microsatellite of DLR (German Aerospace Center) within its OOV (On-Orbit Verification) program. Project funding is provided by the German Ministry for Economics and Technology (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Technologie). The overall objective is to provide industry and research institutes with adequate means for the in-flight validation of space technology. Certain programmatic rules were established for the space segment and the ground segment to realize TET-1 as a low-cost mission within a relatively short timeframe under the leadership of an industrial space company as prime contractor. Flight opportunities for technology demonstration and verification should ideally be provided on a regular basis in a cost efficient and safe manner. A market survey of German industries' and institutes' technologies has shown that about 75% of the experiments can be verified using a microsatellite. The OOV-Program is thus structured into two main parts with respect to the flight opportunities offered. The first comprises the microsatellites TET with a planned flight opportunity every two years. For payloads which do not fit on TET microsatellite concept, DLR will cooperate with national and international partners to provide flight opportunities on other carriers. (en)
