Goal Is Enhanced Cooperation Over The Next 10 Years
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and Chairman of the German
Aerospace Center (DLR) Executive Board Johann-Dietrich Worner
signed a framework agreement for cooperative activities in
aeronautics, exploration and the peaceful use of space Wednesday at
NASA Headquarters in Washington. The agreement is intended to
enhance cooperation between the two agencies during the next
decade.
"NASA has a long history of successful cooperation with the
government of Germany and an outstanding relationship with DLR,"
Bolden said. "Today's signing will further enhance our ability to
work closely together in a variety of mutually beneficial
activities in virtually every NASA mission area."
The agreement sets forth the general terms and conditions for
cooperation on a range of activities related to human spaceflight,
exploration, aeronautics, global climate change and Earth and space
science.
"Many space missions and projects can only be carried out
through international cooperation, for example, with NASA, because
of their great complexity and the associated costs," Worner said.
"This is why DLR, as Germany's national space agency and research
center, is endeavoring to set up bilateral collaborations such as
this."
Bolden and Worner also signed an agreement making DLR a NASA
Lunar Science Institute associate partner. The institute brings
together scientists from around the world to conduct collaborative
research in lunar science.
