Signal reception and experimental measurement are carried out with the DLR ground stations in Oberpfaffenhofen. For this purpose, a permanently installed optical ground station (OGS-OP) is available for scientific experiments and measurements, as well as a transportable optical ground station (TOGS) for data reception and technology demonstrations. The Optical Ground Stations research group is therefore concerned with the development of specialised measuring and receiving equipment, as well as with the further development of optical ground stations in general.
