Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) is Germany's national research center for aerospace, energy, and transportation. Acting as the German space agency, DLR is responsible for planning and implementing the German space program on behalf of the federal government. DLR's activities include a wide range of space research, development of space technologies, and operation of research facilities, and it partners with organizations like ESA and various German federal ministries. Key areas of focus include Earth observation, planetary research, human spaceflight, and the development of reusable launch systems.

The Nyx capsule will complete the excellent German space research capabilities provided by the DLR.
The Exploration Company (TEC) has been contracted by the DLR to carry scientific experiments with a total mass of 160 kilograms aboard the Nyx capsule.
The Nyx-Demo Mission 'Mission Possible' will include a cooperation experiment involving the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University and the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine.
The DLR currently conducts parabolic flight campaigns twice a year and provides year-round access to the Bremen drop tower for scientific use.
The Deutsche Raumfahrtagentur established the Space Innovation Hub at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to promote the space industry in Germany.
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) leads the PLATO payload consortium and developed the readout electronics and data processing electronics for two mission-critical cameras.
The funding for Germany's contribution to PLATO is provided by the German Space Agency at DLR, through grants from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and base funding from DLR and the Max Planck Society.
The DLR research team aims to refine the swarm navigation system to support astronauts and robots in lunar exploration and aid terrestrial exploration of challenging terrains.
The swarm navigation system developed at the DLR Institute for Communication and Navigation allows exploration of the surfaces of the Moon and Mars.
The DLR research team created a 3D model of the LUNA facility's floor for simulations and data validation.
The DLR team researched how payload boxes, sensors, rovers, and astronauts can connect into a network in the LUNA facility.
The LUNA facility simulates conditions on the Moon's surface and was opened in September 2024 at the DLR site in Cologne.
The constellr–DLR contract requires constellr to supply 30-meter native resolution thermal imagery to researchers working with DLR.
DLR Earth Observation head Godela Roßner views constellr’s data offering as filling a gap in understanding vegetation growth and heat fluxes and supports partnering with constellr to offer scientists and application developers in Germany opportunities to explore and demonstrate the data’s potential.
constellr will provide the German Space Agency’s Earth Observation research community with access to its high-resolution thermal data at 30-meter native resolution.
Constellr signed a multiyear contract on 2024-12-09 with the German Space Agency DLR.
The DLR SAR Calibration Center provides highly accurate calibration targets and evaluates internal calibration signals for the SAR instrument.
DLR teams from Oberpfaffenhofen are collaborating with ESA on the calibration and validation of Sentinel-1C systems.
The German Aerospace Centre (DLR) is supporting HydRON by developing various technologies for the ground and space segments.
European Space Imaging upgraded its multi-mission ground station at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) near Munich last year to support uplink and downlink with the WorldView Legion constellation.
