Satellite Geodesy and Inertial Sensing

With the es­tab­lish­ment of the In­sti­tute for Satel­lite Geodesy and In­er­tial Sens­ing in Hanover, DLR is en­hanc­ing its ex­per­tise in the field of ap­pli­ca­tion-ori­ent­ed sen­sor tech­nol­o­gy for nov­el satel­lite mis­sions, for ex­am­ple in the field of satel­lite-based Earth mon­i­tor­ing. The In­sti­tute will de­vel­op nov­el in­er­tial sen­sors based on quan­tum tech­nol­o­gy and im­ple­ment promis­ing quan­tum op­ti­cal meth­ods for use in space. Ap­pli­ca­tions range from minia­turised quan­tum sen­sors to satel­lite-sup­port­ed mea­sure­ments of nat­u­ral phe­nom­e­na on Earth, such as the in­ves­ti­ga­tion of ice mass loss­es or the ef­fects of field ir­ri­ga­tion on the avail­abil­i­ty of drink­ing wa­ter.
