Neustrelitz
Stationary Station
Since January, 1992 the Neustrelitz remote sensing ground station (located about 100 km north of Berlin) has been a department of DLR's German Remote Sensing Data Center. Before German unification it was an important ground station in the Eastern European INTERCOSMOS program, and has a distinguished 75 year history.
Activities include data reception, development and operation of ground segments, satellite based navigation and surveying (Global Positioning System GPS, Global Orbiting and Navigation Satellite System GLONASS), remote sensing data validation, and regional applications for remote sensing data.
In September 1997 a second and in 2002 a third antenna system with the same technical specifications became operational in Neustrelitz. This created the technical conditions to expand multimission operations in cooperation with national as well as international scientific, governmental and commercial partners.
The Neustrelitz ground station is ideally suited to achieve maximum European coverage.
