Space travel. Inspiring. Europe. <br><br>We're the DLR Space Applications Institute mbH - the DLR GfR for short. From our control center in Operpfaffenhofen near Munich, we monitor the operation of Galileo - the European global satellite navigation, timing, and positioning system.<br>Galileo is the only satellite navigation system of its kind under civil control - and it's the most precise, too. On behalf of the European Commission, we head up all the tasks that ensure the secure and error-free operation of the mission. Something over 1.4 billion smartphone users rely upon each and every day.<br><br>Our services cover everything you'll need for a successful satellite mission - from the very first idea to way beyond the launch. Both in orbit and on Earth.<br><br>Two ground control stations, 26 satellites, 24-hour service and 99.9% availability. And all of it can only be made possible thanks to our strong, dedicated team. For over a decade now, it's been the passionate driving force behind our projects.
