Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V.

One last time on Earth it has been turned on in France in December 2019. The next time the MOMA laser developed by the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) is going into operation will be on Mars. The ExoMars rover into which the laser is integrated has now successfully passed the thermal vacuum tests at Airbus in Toulouse, France.

For a long time it was assumed there is no water on the Moon. However, evidence is increasing. The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) is now working on the LUVMI-X project to develop a laser that can find water or other volatiles in the polar regions of the Moon.

On November 19^th, 2019, in Hannover, Niedersachsen presented "GROTESK - the future of optics manufacturing". The four partners in the innovation network "GROTESK - Generative Production of Optical, Thermal and Structural Components" presented research approaches with which optical systems can be manufactured in completely different ways in the future.
