Our rockets fly into weightlessness, our spaceships and instruments explore space. In the air, we put our research aircraft and helicopters - Europe's largest civilian fleet - to work. Our employees test how the trains and vehicles of the future might look and drive. We test secure communications in space, in the air, on land and at sea. We have laboratories and large-scale research facilities the likes of which you don't often find. This blog "Close-up" opens the door a crack, is on the spot and close to our staff and institutes.

If you want to be even closer, you have to apply - and become part of our DLR world.
