The Mozart Tower is located at Rheinstraße 111 in Darmstadt. It was built in 1936 and is a listed building. It is an air-raid shelter and anti-aircraft bunker, which was also used as an alternative control post for the civil defense. Originally, the flak tower was named after the German military aviator Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen ("Richthofenbunker"). During the Second World War, there was an anti-aircraft gun on its roof, which was used in particular to defend the main railway station and the western entrance to the city. The design of the tower corresponds to the Dietel design, a further development of the Zombeck design, which was patented in 1937.

Metop is a series of three polar-orbiting meteorological satellites developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and operated by the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT). The satellites form the space segment component of the overall EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS), which in turn is the European half of the EUMETSAT / NOAA Initial Joint Polar System (IJPS). The satellites carry a payload comprising 11 scientific instruments and two which support Cospas-Sarsat Search and Rescue services. In order to provide data continuity between Metop and NOAA Polar Operational Environmental Satellites (POES), several instruments are carried on both fleets of satellites.
