DLR GfR

Shaping the future of space operations.

DLR GfR provides reliable, safe and secure space services and operates Eu-rope’s largest satellite constellation with 32 Galileo satellites, on behalf of the European Commission from the Galileo Control Center (GCC-D) in Ober-pfaffenhofen, Germany.

With 24/7 operations and 99.99% service availability, DLR GfR delivers end-to-end space operations services – from mission planning and flight dynamics to launch, early orbit, in-orbit testing, routine operations and maintenance for the worldwide distributed ground segment.

In addition to Galileo operations, DLR GfR drives innovation through key projects such as JASPR and OPTIMUS, advancing automation, resilience and efficiency in future space operations.

With a European team of more than 270 experts, DLR GfR stands for operational excellence and innovation in space.

Together with DLR, we will host SpaceOps 2027 in Germany, bringing the global space operations community together.
