Europe.
We’re the DLR Space Applications Institute mbH – the DLR GfR for short. From our control center in Operpfaffenhofen near Munich, we monitor the operation of Galileo – the European global satellite navigation, timing, and positioning system.
On behalf of the European Commission, we oversee all the tasks that ensure the secure and error-free operation of the Galileo satellite constellation mission.
Our services cover everything you’ll need for a successful satellite mission – from the very first idea to way beyond the launch. Both in orbit and on Earth.
JASP-R® – Real-time GNSS interference detection
GNSS disruptions such as jamming and spoofing are becoming more frequent – posing a serious challenge to aviation. JASP-R®, the new resilience service from DLR GfR, detects and analyzes these disruptions globally and delivers reliable data for safer, more efficient flight operations.
The system is fully European and helps ensure planning stability under uncertain navigation conditions.
OPTIMUS – Platform for Secure Optical Communications
OPTIMUS (Optical Communication Multi-User System) is a European development project aimed at creating a scalable network test bed to test the interfaces to optical ground stations.
Commercial space travel
Weather mission planning, configuration management or safe operations throughout all mission phases. We’ll support you every step of the way.
Solutions for ground infrastructure
Ready-to-use antennae systems, surveillance and control system solutions and the service that comes with them – all around the clock. We offer tailored solutions to fit your specific needs.
