Radom Raisting, Radome structure in Raisting, Germany
The Radom in Raisting is a distinctive dome structure measuring 48.8 meters across that protects a parabolic antenna 25 meters in diameter inside. The facility contains exhibition spaces where visitors can learn about how satellite communication developed and operated.
The facility was built between 1963 and 1964 as Germany's first commercial ground station for satellite communications. It played a key role in 1969 when it transmitted the Apollo 11 moon landing broadcast to European television audiences.
The radome transmitted the Apollo 11 moon landing broadcast to European televisions in 1969, marking a milestone in international communications.
Visitors can take guided tours to explore the exhibition spaces and learn about the technology and history. The site is best visited on clear days when you can fully appreciate the scale and design of the dome from outside.
The dome is kept upright through a continuous air pressure system that must remain operational to maintain its spherical shape. This engineering approach turns the radome into a functioning example of structural innovation from the era of space exploration.
