Two almost identical satellites orbit the earth at an altitude of around 500 kilometres and scan the surface with radar equipment. The first of the two satellites, TerraSAR-X, has been operating ...
TerraSAR-X is a German Earth-observation satellite. Its primary payload is an X-band radar sensor with a range of different modes of operation, allowing it to acquire images with different swath ...
The German Space Agency at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the US space agency NASA are continuing their gravity field measurements from space with the 'Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment - ...
The Mars Express mission, Europe's first interplanetary mission, and all of its experiments continue to function almost perfectly after 20 years of scientific operations. The High Resolution Stereo ...
A laser clock developed by DLR has achieved a record level of accuracy for optical clocks, with a deviation of just one second every 30 million years. Laser clocks are set to improve satellite ...
New Earth observation datasets reveal the diversity and usage of agricultural land. Estimates of water requirements and pest susceptibility are also made possible. Sentinel satellite data was analysed ...

Extremer Regen, Pegelstände steigen, Überschwemmungen – innerhalb von kürzester Zeit müssen Menschen gerettet und kritische Infrastrukturen gesichert werden. Wie kann das gelingen, wenn auch Energie-, ...
The research at German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SO) into the impact of space weather on GNSS and ADS-B systems aims to enhance the resilience and reliability of ...
A new study with major participation from DLR has found that Martian winds blow at speeds of up to 160 kilometres per hour. The findings help to improve our understanding of the atmospheric dynamics ...
The three-kilometre-thick ice sheet covering Mars's north pole is young, formed between 2 and 12 million years ago. The ice sheet is bending the rocky crust beneath at a rate of 0.13 millimetres per ...
Das DLR und das Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC) der EUROCONTROL haben gemeinsam erstmals den praktischen Nachweis geführt, dass sich langlebige Kondensstreifen durch geringe Veränderung ...
