In January 2026, we had the opportunity to present our contributions to national and international space travel at the highest level. In addition to our components for Ariane 6, US launchers, and satellites, the focus was on the future topics of next-generation large launchers, space ports and in-orbit refueling stations, which Ulrich Scheib, CEO, and Bernd Beschorner, COO, discussed in detail with the Federal Minister. It is absolutely essential that Germany plays a central role in these areas to secure the long-term sovereignty of Germany and Europe in space. That is why we must make the right decisions today to secure our position in space tomorrow.

We would like to thank Federal Minister Dorothee Bär very much for her visit and for her support in the relevant matters of German space and we would also like to thank Hansjörg Durz, member of the German Bundestag, and Eva Weber, who accompanied the Federal Minister during her visit.
