Our expertise
Two worlds. One institute.
IART is an independent, non-profit institute at Lake Constance that looks at space from two directions. On the technical side, we develop electronics, software and radio communication for satellites and prepare them for operation in orbit through integration, testing and in-orbit validation. On the societal side, we ask how space shapes our region, our culture and our politics. Both are united by one mission: space should be accessible to everyone. That is why we open our work to school pupils and students, with workshops, theses and internships.
