Write a comment

The Swiss Propulsion Laboratory (SPL), founded in autumn 1998, is running integrated programs focusing on research and development of space-technology in Switzerland.

Objectives and Strategies

SPL aims to develop, build and run reasonable priced systems to transport small payloads into a low-earth orbit (LEO). Old and established paths are intentionally renounced in order to envisage new and innovative concepts covering impacts on our environment as much as possible.

Involving external facilities and inviting other organizations to participate allows SPL to achieve its objectives. The components will be developed in a joint effort of SPL, interested universities, graduate schools and Switzerland precision industry. SPL will provide the required co-ordination of all involved parties, for example by extracting and forwarding precisely defined technical problems to educational institutions, thereby enabling them to effectively take part in space-technology oriented "applied science".
