DLR
- Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und
Raumfahrt
DLR is Germany's national research centre for aeronautics
and space. Its extensive research and development work is integrated
into national and international cooperative ventures. As Germany's
Space Agency, the German federal government has given DLR responsibility
for the forward planning and implementation of the German space
programme as well as international representation of Germany's
interests.
Aeronautics
and space make substantial contributions to the way we live
today. Aviation guarantees our global mobility and satellites
enable worldwide communication. Remote sensing generates
data about our environment, while the exploration of space
leads to new knowledge about the origin and development of
the Solar System, its planets, and, hence, about the creation
of life.
