Monday, 04 July ________________________________________________________________________ Welcome and Visit DLR Neustrelitz Holger Maass German Aerospace Center (DLR), Neustrelitz, Germany The Neustrelitz site of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is located in MecklenburgVorpommern, approximately 100 km north of Berlin. More than 80 employees are working in three institutes the • Earth Observation Centre • Institute for Communications and Navigation • Institute for Remote-Sensing Methods and the Technology Marketing section. In addition a school-lab is just established for educating students in space sciences and related innovative technologies. DLR Neustrelitz site has access to modern technological systems suitable for the demands of a real-time data center for GMES and Galileo related research tasks. The national ground segment is a department of the Earth observation center (EOC) and takes care for reception of numerous remote sensing and scientific satellites. Thus, DLR Neustrelitz, as one of the four stations belonging to the Real Time Solar Wind (RTSW) network of NOAA, contributes essentially to the permanent availability of solar wind data measured onboard NASA’s ACE and DSCOVR satellite. Huge remote sensing data volume is success-fully managed in the EOC by using the Data Information Management System (DIMS). Research activities in the Institute for Remote sensing Methods focus on studying scattering and radiative transfer in the Earth’s atmosphere for improving atmospheric corrections of remote sensing data. In the field of satellite navigation, the research is focused on developing algorithms for precise and safe navigation in particular in the maritime application sector. Thus, technological developments have been carried out for the Rostock Research Harbour.
