description: 'CHAMP is a German BMBF-funded geophysical minisatellite mission of GFZ (GeoForschungsZentrum), Potsdam, Germany, in cooperation with DLR (German Aerospace Center). The satellite was built by the German space industry with the intent to foster high-tech capabilities especially in the East-German space industry. The spacecraft prime contractor is DJO (Jena Optronic GmbH) in Jena, a daughter of DASA (now EADS Astrium GmbH).'
