[00:00:35] is the exact spot where a
[00:00:46] For anyone watching this show an airplane high above the
[00:00:49] clouds, flying at high altitude is very
[00:00:52] safe. It's the landing that,
[00:00:56] statistically speaking, is where accident is more likely to take.
[00:01:03] All that and more on this edition of DW Science
[00:01:07] show. Welcome to Tomorrow
[00:01:09] Today.
[00:01:14] A close call. The aircraft landed safely, but pilots and
[00:01:18] passengers aren't always as lucky as they were on the island of Zud that
[00:01:21] day. Sometimes disaster is only meters
[00:01:24] away. Wars saw September 14th,
[00:01:28] 1993. 2904 landed on
[00:01:31] rainsoaked runway, the aircraft aquaplaned and ran out of
[00:01:35] room to stop, it crashed into an embankment, two
[00:01:39] people died. after this and other serious accidents,
[00:01:42] aviation authorities concluded that runways should have safety area,
[00:01:46] extending at least 300 meters beyond the
[00:01:48] runway.
[00:01:53] one example is the 2005 Air France accident. The
[00:01:56] aircraft overshot the runway and rain and difficult conditions.
[00:02:00] It finally came to a stop 300 meters beyond the
[00:02:02] runway. As air traffic grew, the
[00:02:06] number of accidents increased too, like here in
[00:02:09] Miami, and in Alaska,
[00:02:13] runway overruns are one of the most common aviation
[00:02:16] accidents.
[00:02:21] But what if an airport doesn't have enough space for safety
[00:02:24] area? That's the problem
[00:02:26] In March 2024, part of a the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration set out to
[00:02:29] solve. Its answer was EMAS, the engineered materials
[00:02:33] arresting system, and it looks surprisingly
[00:02:36] simple.
[00:02:40] these are foam glass stones made entirely from recycled
[00:02:43] glass, they're very light and brittle, a lot like
[00:02:47] pumice. If an aircraft rolls onto our
[00:02:50] EMAS, there's a braking effect.
[00:02:54] if an aircraft overshoots the runway, it rolls onto a thin
[00:02:57] concrete layer that breaks under its weight. The wheels sink into the
[00:03:01] foam glass, slowing it to a
[00:03:02] stop.
[00:03:05] Zabriken Airport's 85-m E-MAS bed can stop an
[00:03:08] aircraft traveling at up to 102 km/h.
[00:03:12] Larger systems can handle speeds of up to 130
[00:03:15] km/h.
[00:03:20] The system is barely visible from the cockpit. Many
[00:03:24] pilots have never encountered one, but if an aircraft
[00:03:27] overruns the runway, keeping straight is key.
[00:03:30] "turning away from the arrester bed could mean missing the chance to stop
[00:03:34] safely.
[00:03:38] Sabriken became Germany's first airport to install EMAS in
[00:03:42] 2019. It's still the country's only airport with the
[00:03:45] system.
[00:03:49] So far, its only visitor has been a fox. Yes, we
[00:03:52] are from the city runway, our runway is
[00:03:56] a bit like an aircraft carrier. The ground drops away steeply at both."
[00:04:31] These recordings from Key West and Bacartan show the difference E
[00:04:34] Mask can make. The FAA has documented more
[00:04:38] than 25 successful E-mask stops in the US.
[00:04:42] Everybody walked away unharmed and only one aircraft suffered serious
[00:04:45] damage. Today, Swedish company Runway Safe is the only
[00:04:49] producer of E-MAS systems. It also supports
[00:04:52] California's Burbank airport. So, Burbank had an overrun
[00:04:56] with a 737, uh, in about the year
[00:05:00] 2000 and it went over the
[00:05:03] fence into a gas station and the airport decided
[00:05:07] to buy the gas station, close it down and install EMAS
[00:05:10] and a decade later... "there
[00:05:13] was almost the same thing happening, but this time the
[00:05:17] 737 was arrested by the EMA
[00:05:20] system. Two overruns at Burbank with very
[00:05:23] different outcomes: the first aircraft was destroyed,
[00:05:27] the second in 2018 was stopped by EMAS and returned to
[00:05:31] service. Zabriken's system cost over 4
[00:05:34] million euros, a new ATR passenger aircraft is over
[00:05:38] 20 million, yet Zabruken is still the only airport in Germany with
[00:05:41] EMAS. In our assessment, we identified
[00:05:45] eight out of 29 major German airports that don't provide
[00:05:49] the full obstacle-free safety area on all
[00:05:51] runways. At those airports we believed installing
[00:05:54] EMAS would make sense,
[00:05:58] stopping a runway overrun from turning into a
[00:06:01] catastrophe. has added that extra layer of
[00:06:04] protection. In 2022, it became the first
[00:06:08] airport in South America to install
[00:06:09] E-mouse.
[00:06:12] Eventually every flight comes to an
[00:06:15] end,
[00:06:19] and that's also true for
[00:06:21] satellites.
[00:06:26] It all starts in Frankfurt.
[00:06:29] Three space transport researchers embark a mission
[00:06:32] halfway around the world. They're going satellite
[00:06:36] hunting.
[00:06:40] Preparations actually began in
[00:06:42] at the University's Institute of Space Systems.
[00:06:46] For years, the team has used a plasma wind tunnel to study
[00:06:50] how materials melt and vaporize as spacecraft fall back
[00:06:54] to earth. Now they're trying to find out what really
[00:06:57] happens when a satellite
[00:06:59] burns
[00:07:03] up, like the Starlink
[00:07:05] satellite.
[00:07:13] latest: they burn up, but are they really gone? Do parts reach the
[00:07:16] ground? We now have models that predict what happens,
[00:07:20] and measurements help us see if those predictions are
[00:07:23] right.
[00:07:25] The researchers want to know what survives reentry, what
[00:07:29] doesn't, and why? The answers could influence the design of
[00:07:33] future satellites, and they
[00:07:35] matter here on earth.
[00:07:39] discarded ISS battery pallet crashed through the roof of a
[00:07:42] house in Florida. On the right is a replica used in lab
[00:07:46] tests. Even carefully planned re-entries can go
[00:07:50] wrong. In 2004, a NASA
[00:07:53] capsule crashed into the Utah desert. As
[00:07:56] more satellites are launched, more and more are burning up
[00:08:00] overhead. What do they leave behind in the atmosphere, and does that
[00:08:03] affect the climate? The team's measurements could help answer that
[00:08:07] question.
[00:08:11] ESA is also... studying satellite reentries that can be
[00:08:14] predicted with precision.
[00:08:18] The Stuttgart researchers have a long journey ahead of them.
[00:08:22] Their observation flight will leave from Tonga in the South
[00:08:25] Pacific. The remote region is often chosen for
[00:08:28] re-entries, keeping any surviving debris far from
[00:08:32] populated areas. One
[00:08:34] famous example, Russia's former space station Mir in
[00:08:38] March 2001. Its reentry left behind some streaks
[00:08:42] of... light visible from Fiji and nothing
[00:08:44] else. A business jet capable of
[00:08:48] flying at over 15,000 meters has been equipped as a
[00:08:52] flying observation station. In September
[00:08:55] 2024, an earlier observation campaign produced these
[00:08:58] recordings. This time the researchers hope to collect
[00:09:02] even better data. From the aircraft, they'll track
[00:09:06] satellite reentries using a range of scientific instruments,
[00:09:09] including 28 camera systems developed in Stuttgart.
[00:09:43] "the re-entry will happen during the daytime, so this camera will
[00:09:46] capture how that light changes from moment to
[00:09:49] moment.
[00:09:53] In contrast,
[00:09:56] each pixel here works independently, it
[00:10:00] only reacts when the light at that pixel becomes brighter or darker
[00:10:03] by more than a certain amount,
[00:10:06] a pixel
[00:10:09] becomes visible."
[00:10:12] and ready, just before departure from Frankfurt,
[00:10:15] excitement is beginning to build, first stop,
[00:10:18] Bangkok, then Sydney, Australia,
[00:10:22] and then the final destination, Tonga.
[00:10:55] the windows then take off from Tonga. Their target
[00:11:00] retired satellite will plunge back through the Earth's
[00:11:03] atmosphere. Reaching it is a
[00:11:05] challenge. We had to make lots of small
[00:11:09] corrections to get the timings exactly the
[00:11:12] way the team needed them. So
[00:11:15] it was a whole lot of little precise inputs
[00:11:19] that is not normally how you fly an aircraft like this. It was up at
[00:11:23] about 45 degrees, okay, and it was
[00:11:25] sort of coming towards the nose of the aircraft but obviously a lot further
[00:11:29] away. T minus minute, just
[00:11:32] before reentry, the tension is palpable.
[00:11:36] Wonderful.
[00:11:38] Now then, the satellite appears unusually close. The
[00:11:42] onboard cameras record it all. For the Stuttgart
[00:11:45] researchers, it's the moment they've been
[00:11:47] chasing.
[00:11:52] Yeah, it's going down. Oh, spectacular
[00:11:55] images captured over the South Pacific.
[00:11:59] Even in its final moments, the satellite is still transmitting
[00:12:02] telemetry, related to the European Space Operations
[00:12:06] Center in Damstad. As it
[00:12:08] descends, the trajectory begins to flatten, a sign it's moving deeper into the
[00:12:12] atmosphere.
[00:12:17] Then it's back to Tonga. A first look at the recordings
[00:12:20] confirms the mission was a success. 29.
[00:12:25] 29 of 30 instruments recorded data, every
[00:12:29] camera picked up a huge cloud of fragments,
[00:12:32] in all two terabytes of images, video and
[00:12:36] spectral data, image material,
[00:12:38] video spectral data,
[00:12:41] helping researchers improve satellite design and
[00:12:44] better understand how burning space debris affects the
[00:12:47] atmosphere and the ozone layer,
[00:12:51] but not everything that ventures into space ends up as space junk.
[00:12:55] Like the Roman Space Telescope, our new eye on
[00:12:58] the sky with technology made in
[00:13:00] Heidelberg.
[00:13:04] The Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg has
[00:13:07] contributed to major space missions, including the James
[00:13:11] Web Space Telescope.
[00:13:14] Now NASA has again turned to the Institute for key parts of Roman's
[00:13:18] coronagraph. One goal of Roman is to study
[00:13:21] planets beyond our solar system. The coronal.
[00:13:34] Imagine Earth beside the Sun seen from outside our solar
[00:13:37] system, Earth would be very faint, to see
[00:13:41] it, you'd have to block out the Sun's
[00:13:42] light.
[00:13:47] The Heidelberg mechanisms move filters, masks and mirrors
[00:13:51] into position, special masks block glare.
[00:13:55] while shape-changing mirrors suppress stray light, the instrument can
[00:13:59] reveal planets up to 100 million times fainter than their
[00:14:02] stars.
[00:14:06] The coronagraph is very complex and costs half a billion
[00:14:09] euros. It's probably the most complex optical instrument ever
[00:14:12] built. The components were tested to ensure they could
[00:14:16] withstand radiation, extreme temperatures and launch
[00:14:19] vibrations.
[00:14:25] United States, in a sealed dust-free container,
[00:14:28] the completed coronagraph reached NASA's Space Flight Center in
[00:14:32] 2024.
[00:14:37] 2026 launch, which went
[00:14:38] smoothly.
[00:14:42] We're proud to be part of the Nancy Grace Roman Mission in
[00:14:44] Heidelberg. We supplied six mechanisms that
[00:14:48] move the coronagraph's optical elements, and we're confident they'll
[00:14:52] work.
[00:15:06] Roman will travel nearly 1 million miles away from Earth to
[00:15:10] Lagrange point L2 and begin transmitting imagery and data
[00:15:14] back home that will contribute to world changing science along
[00:15:17] with all the captivating imagery
[00:15:20] that, uh, like we see from Hubble and James Web. I have no
[00:15:24] doubt that Roman will become a household name alongside those great
[00:15:27] instruments of discovery. Roman is expected to reach its
[00:15:31] destination in December 2026, with first
[00:15:34] scientific images due early 2027.
[00:16:07] what all sounds like science fiction: more than
[00:16:10] 6,0 exoplanets have been found, and Roman could discover
[00:16:14] 100 thousand more. Its field of view is about 100 times
[00:16:17] larger than Hubble's, allowing it to survey vast areas of the
[00:16:21] sky.
[00:16:28] Nancy Grace Roman, known as the mother of Hubble, was
[00:16:31] NASA's first chief of astronomy. Now the
[00:16:34] telescope that bears her name could help reveal
[00:16:38] new worlds across our galaxy.
[00:16:41] three, two, one, and here's
[00:16:45] another crew that's reaching for the
[00:16:47] sky.
[00:16:52] Both students spend their time studying.
[00:16:56] For five years now, this group has spent its spare time testing rocket
[00:17:00] engines.
[00:17:04] making its own rocket fuel.
[00:17:07] and casting its own rocket
[00:17:09] nozzles.
[00:17:14] They've built rocket after rocket, even traveling to the
[00:17:17] United States, all in pursuit of a
[00:17:19] dream.
[00:17:24] Our ultimate goal is to reach the Kármán line 100 km up and bring
[00:17:28] the world altitude record home to
[00:17:29] Bremen.
[00:17:32] What we're planning is definitely something no student team has ever pulled off in
[00:17:36] quite this way before.
[00:17:39] The Bremen team wants its homemade rocket
[00:17:41] Transcendence to reach the Kármán line, the threshold
[00:17:45] of outer space, but reaching 100 kilometers isn't
[00:17:49] enough. To break the student altitude record, they'll need to climb even
[00:17:53] higher, to 103.6
[00:17:55] km.
[00:17:58] It's an ambitious goal, to keep the project alive, the
[00:18:02] students cover much of the costs themselves.
[00:18:04] And
[00:18:06] right from the start, they faced setbacks. In
[00:18:09] 2023 they took their first rocket to a competition in
[00:18:13] Portugal, but the judges found fault with the construction and
[00:18:17] refused to let it
[00:18:18] launch.
[00:18:21] They had to pack up and go
[00:18:23] home.
[00:18:27] A year later they got another chance. Launch
[00:18:30] sites are much cheaper in the United States than in Europe, so a
[00:18:34] group headed to California's Mojave Desert.
[00:18:42] There, finally, they got their
[00:18:44] breakthrough.
[00:18:49] The Bremen team successfully launched its first rocket,
[00:18:53] Phoenix.
[00:19:01] It soared 9 km into the sky, and since then they've
[00:19:05] kept pushing forward.
[00:19:07] In 2025 and again in
[00:19:10] 2026, the team launched near
[00:19:12] Bremen. These flights only reached about 1
[00:19:16] km,
[00:19:20] but they weren't chasing records. They were
[00:19:23] gathering data for their next big
[00:19:25] goal, sending a student-built
[00:19:29] rocket to the threshold of outer
[00:19:31] space.
[00:19:35] What if other airborne machines and devices could help solve
[00:19:38] problems here on Earth? We've certainly got challenges to
[00:19:41] spare. Trees and forests, for example, are suffering under
[00:19:45] rising temperatures. researchers are looking to
[00:19:48] help.
[00:19:52] a forest from the sky. This
[00:19:55] drone drops seeds, tree seeds, just as trees do
[00:19:59] themselves, but the drone is much faster and more
[00:20:02] flexible.
[00:20:06] We simply don't have time. Out of time, forests store carbon, give
[00:20:09] us places to unwind, supply timber, shelter wildlife
[00:20:13] and much more. With climate change, we need them as allies, so we have
[00:20:17] to reforest fast and
[00:20:19] must
[00:20:21] therefore reforest quickly. The drone can sow a hectare in about 10 minutes, far faster
[00:20:25] than a planting crew. It can reach places people can't, and
[00:20:29] once programmed it works almost by
[00:20:31] itself.
[00:20:34] Ola Zeidenbach developed the idea with two friends:
[00:20:38] In the town of Lüdenscheid in Western Germany, they launched a pilot project
[00:20:41] in 2021.
[00:20:45] The land belongs to Gabriel Von dem Busche. He owns this
[00:20:49] forest or
[00:21:29] It was a hard lesson for the forest owner and for all his
[00:21:32] team, simply scattering tree seeds wasn't
[00:21:35] enough, the real challenge wasn't the drone, it was the
[00:21:39] soil.
[00:21:45] Without shrubs and trees for shade, the sun beats straight
[00:21:48] onto the ground.
[00:23:20] 18 months later they had one. Working with a
[00:23:23] specialist partner, they brought a farming technique into the
[00:23:26] forest. The result is the specially adapted tracked
[00:23:30] machine.
[00:23:34] In a single pass, it loosens the soil, sows the seeds
[00:23:38] and firms the ground down
[00:23:40] again.
[00:23:45] And we also have other advantages.
[00:23:48] planting seeds.
[00:24:20] direct seeding is a well-established method and has advantages over
[00:24:24] planting nursery-grown trees.
[00:24:27] A study by Bavaria's State Institute of Forestry shows
[00:24:31] why:
[00:24:33] trees grown directly from seed usually develop strong natural
[00:24:37] root systems. But when it comes to nursery-grown
[00:24:40] trees, 71% have stunted, poorly developed
[00:24:44] roots.
[00:24:48] over time, Zemon and his...
[00:26:18] after years of trial and error, these nearly bare
[00:26:21] hillsides may become a diverse, resilient woodland
[00:26:25] again.
[00:26:29] And that's all for now on DW's science show.
[00:26:45] America elects Congress, Trump's policy is facing a new
[00:26:49] test, who will have the majority power to make laws, approve
[00:26:53] money, oversee the president. From Washington, we follow the key
[00:26:56] moments of the American midterm elections which could determine the political
[00:27:00] future of the USA, we include reporters and experts from
[00:27:03] Sarajevo and Belgrade, while our guests explain the political
[00:27:07] consequences, from decisions in Washington to consequences for
[00:27:10] Europe and our region. What changes does this election
[00:27:14] night bring and what do the results mean for Donald Trump,
[00:27:17] we bring directly from the American capital.
