Leading the ground-breaking ceremony were the EUMETSAT Director-General, Dr. Lars Prahm, and the Lord Mayor of Darmstadt, Mr. Walter Hoffmann.
Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony, Dr. Lars Prahm said the NIB will add “a further dimension to our organisation not only in terms of infrastructure but also in terms of EUMETSAT’s future activities. A dedicated infrastructure building in effect means that we will be able to accommodate the technical and operational installations necessary to operate and to control EUMETSAT’s current and future satellite systems for weather, climate and environmental monitoring.”
