Ground Station Weilheim (III)
No, not Raisting (maybe you know some of my antenna shots from Raisting, see my Raisting set)! It's the Ground Station Weilheim and the 30m Deep Space Antenna, operated by DLR (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt). DLR Space Operations is the central institution for spaceflight operations in Germany.
The Weilheim Ground Station Complex consists of several spacecraft tracking stations. In compliance with the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS), the Weilheim station complex is classified as both, a Deep Space Network (Category B), and a Non Deep Space Network (Near Earth Network, Category A).
There are some 4,5m, 9m, 11m, two 15m and one 30m antennas concentrated in this area.
