D1

D1 stands for the first Spacelab (SL) mission under German mission management and responsibility. The complete payload was controlled for the first time from outside the NASA centres by GSOC, acting as Payload Operation Control Centre (POCC). D1 was a multi-disciplinary mission with more than 70 experiments covering the fields of material- and life-sciences, navigation, communication and technology flown in 1985.

MIR 97

Mir '97 was a German initiative funded by the German research ministery (BMBF) and managed by DARA-agency. A German astronaut stayed on board of the Mir space-station for 18 days. The mission objectives were the continuation of science programs from previous MIR missions with German and/or European participation, reusing already available on-board experiments as well as new experiments, and to exercise interfaces, which will be essential for the future use in the international space station.
