This project focuses on advancing ground-based infrastructure for Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). It highlights innovative technologies such as high slew rates exceeding 5 degrees per second and the integration of multiple small telescopes at a single site. Key systems include the VLBI Twin Telescope at Wettzell, advanced kHz laser technology for satellite laser ranging (SLR), and next-generation DORIS systems. With capabilities to sample over 10 Hz in real-time using three antennas, this infrastructure enhances observational precision and data quality.
