50 years of Space in FriedrichshafenFor five decades the site of Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance has been the lynchpin for the development and construction of satellites, probes and instruments for scientific research in space, Earth observation and meteorology. Currently taking shape at Friedrichshafen are the MetOp series of meteorological satellites, the three-satellite Swarm mission to investigate the Earth’s magnetic field, the multi-spectral Sentinel-2 satellite, and the radar satellite Paz. The Friedrichshafen site is also leading the European BepiColombo Mercury mission, and is playing an active role in the Gaia astronomy mission.
