N2 - This field trip provides the opportunity to visit a prominent fundamental observatory where a variety of space geodetic instruments are routinely operated for precise location of a stable reference point in space, serving the geodetic community and society. The co-location of three large radio telescopes and two laser ranging facilities at the same observatory is exceptional; the large "G" ring laser is a unique instrument. Staff members are available to explain technical and operational details and to answer questions. Last but not least, the observatory is located in the picturesque landscape of the Bavarian Forest.
