During its development phase, the BIROS project displayed a clear task distribution where DLR handled system technical research and small industries were responsible for the development and manufacture of standardized satellite bus components.
The software development for the BIROS satellite involved DLR's Institute for Software Technology in Braunschweig and the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg.
Aerospace Innovation GmbH and DLR's Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology in Göttingen were responsible for BIROS's propulsion segment.
BIROS is developed and built by DLR's Institute for Optical Sensor Systems in Berlin-Adlershof, in collaboration with Astro- und Feinwerktechnik Adlershof GmbH.
