Large scale research facilities
The construction and operation of large-scale research facilities is a statutory task of the German Aerospace Centre (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR). They enable us to carry out our research in the aerospace, energy, transport, security and digitalisation programmes. The research infrastructure is used across institutes and programmes. In addition, we make our facilities and expertise available to national and international partners from research and industry.
