DTU Space – Denmark’s national space institute – is a world leading institute that specializes in space research and space technology at the highest international level. Located as part of the Technical University of Denmark in the Greater Copenhagen area it is the national center for space research, geodesy and space technology.

DTU Space offers related public sector consultancy services – mostly related to Denmark’s membership of the European Space Agency (ESA). The department works extensively with foreign space agencies, universities and research institutes as well as companies in the space industry. These collaborations are expected to be enhanced further.

Lastly, the Head of Department has overall financial responsibility for the department. The department’s total turnover amounts to approx. DKK 150 million per year, approximately two thirds of which comes from external sources. There are around 170 employees, of which more than 150 are academics with 35 of these being PhD students. The department is organized into 5 research sections, a cross cutting division for Innovation and Consultancy, and an institute secretariat.
