DLR at a Glance DLR is Germany‘s national research centre for aeronautics and 2009/2010 space. Its extensive research and development work in Aeronautics, Space, Energy, Transport and Security is integrated into national and international cooperative ventures. As Germany‘s space agency, DLR has been given responsibility for the forward planning and the implementation of the German space programme by the German federal government as well as for the international representation Development of German interests. Furthermore, Germany’s largest project- management agency is also part of DLR. Approximately 6,700 people are employed at thirteen locations Economic in Germany: Cologne (headquarters), Berlin, Bonn, Braunschweig, and Bremen, Goettingen, Hamburg, Lampoldshausen, Neustrelitz, Oberpfaffenhofen, Stuttgart, Trauen, and Weilheim. DLR also operates offices in Brussels, Paris, and Washington D.C. Resarch DLR’s mission comprises the exploration of the Earth and the Solar System, research for protecting the environment, for environmen- tally-compatible technologies, and for promoting mobility, commu- nication, and security. DLR’s research portfolio ranges from basic research to innovative applications and products of tomorrow. In that way DLR contributes the scientific and technical know-how that it has gained to enhancing Germany’s industrial and technolo- gical reputation. DLR operates large-scale research facilities for DLR’s own projects and as a service provider for its clients and partners. It also promotes the next generation of scientists, provides compe- tent advisory services to government, and is a driving force in the local regions of its field centers.
