The German Aerospace Center (DLR)
DLR is the German aerospace research and technology centre. In its core areas, DLR develops technologies for aeronautics and space, energy and transport, as well as security and defence research. A broad spectrum of results and innovations bring benefits for industry and business, authorities and administration as well as for public stakeholders.
Oberpfaffenhofen - DLR
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 - DLR
TerraSAR-X is a German Earth-observation satellite. Its primary payload is an X-band radar sensor with a range of different modes of operation, allowing it to acquire images with different swath widths, resolutions and polarisations. TerraSAR-X thus offers space-based observation capabilities that were previously unavailable.
