 |  ESA and DLR in Joint Study to Support Deep Space Missions
 5 April 2019
An existing deep-space dish antenna at the DLR Weilheim site, near Munich, may offer an
almost-readymade solution to the problem of providing sufficient ground station capacity
to support ESA’s current and future deep-space exploration missions. Now and in the
next few years, ESA is sending some of the most advanced spacecraft ever flown to
exotic locations like Mars, Mercury and Jupiter, and these missions all have one thing in
common: they need plenty of ground station capacity to download.
