The German Aerospace Center (DLR) is the aerospace research centre of the Federal Republic of Germany. Its research and development work in aeronautics, space, energy, transport and security is integrated into national and international co-operations.
With approximately 2000 employees in 13 scientific facilities, the DLR site in Oberpfaffenhofen is one of the largest research centres in Germany. Here, the areas of focus include participation in space missions, climate research, Earth observation, the development of navigation systems and the further development of robotics technology.
TerraSAR-X was realised on behalf of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) with funds from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy. It is the first German satellite to be realised as part of a public-private partnership (PPP) between DLR and Airbus Defence and Space (formerly Astrium): The use of TerraSAR-X data for scientific purposes is the responsibility of DLR, which is also responsible ...
The German Space Operations Center (GSOC), operated by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) at Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, has an impressive track record with many years of invaluable experience.Since 1969 GSOC has been responsible for operating spacecraft, playing a key role in countless crewed and uncrewed missions. In recent years, the preparation and implementation of Earth observation ...
Antennas have been in operation in Neustrelitz for over 100 years – since the foundation of the experimental radio station of the Kaiserliches Telegraphenversuchsamt in 1913. Today, around 110 employees work and conduct research here in the fields of space weather, satellite data reception, satellite remote sensing, navigation, as well as maritime transport and safety.
Space and transport – these are the main research areas at DLR's Berlin site. The institutes at this location are involved in major missions to observe the Earth, other planets in the Solar System, as well as exoplanets. In the field of transport, scientists are researching mobility concepts for the future.
The effects of anthropogenic climate change are well known, and the need to permanently reduce carbon dioxide emis-sions is beyond question. While global air transport accounts
Making future spaceflight more powerful, more cost-effective and safer with novel propulsion systems and environmentally friendly fuels - that is what around 250 DLR employees are working towards at the Lampoldshausen site. For over 60 years, they have been researching, developing and testing innovative technologies for chemical space propulsion systems on a test bed infrastructure ...
