Space - Infinite vastness and possibilities

Space - infinite vastness and possibilities

It´s become normal everyday life to inform people everywhere on this planet, about our issues. This exchange of information can only be effected through modern communication systems. Berliner Glas has made it to their business to assist in this development and to push it. This is guaranteed by our optical components and systems, which allow communication between satellites in orbit and as well, with ground stations. But also in other fields they are used:

• Earth monitoring
• Climate research
• Astronomical telescopy
