German Space Operations Center, Mission control center in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany
The German Space Operations Center coordinates national and international spaceflight operations, including scientific satellites, commercial satellites, and human spaceflight missions from its location near Munich.
The foundation for the German space control center began in the 1960s when Germany decided to participate in international space projects, with construction starting in 1967.
The center marked a significant milestone in 1985 when it became the first facility outside NASA to direct Payload Operation Control during the STS-61-A mission.
Eight operational control rooms manage different space missions, with the largest room, K1, dedicated to Launch and Early Orbit Phase operations.
The facility monitors Earth observation satellites like TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X, which operate in formation to create detailed surface maps of our planet.
