DLR - German Aerospace Center DLR Research Projects, a contribution to the Vision 2020 Rainer Scharenberg, 1 Historical roots 1907 – founding of the „Modellversuchsanstalt der Motorluftschiff- Studiengesellschaft“ - Research Facility for the „Airship development society“, later the „Aerodynamische Versuchsanstalt Göttingen“ AVA 1989 – transformation of the DFVLR in Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) Founding of the German Space Agency „Deutsche Agentur für Raumfahrtangelegenheiten“ DARA 1997 integration of the DARA into the DLR with all their political functions. Since 1997 DLR means „German Aerospace Centre“ Rainer Scharenberg, 2 DLR German Aerospace Center Research Institution Space Agency Project Management Agency Rainer Scharenberg, 3 Key areas Aeronautics Space Space Agency Transport Energy Security Rainer Scharenberg, 4 Financing of DLR and research funding 2010 2.114 Mio.€ Alle Angaben in Mio.
