About

The AX-62 Space Mission Ground Modem leverages a commercially established platform for integrated support of multiple space missions from a single device. Its software radio approach allows for quick and easy extension of waveforms, while teleport-grade interfaces enable seamless integration into global ground station systems. Key features include support for CCSDS 231.0-B-3 TC uplinks, CCSDS 131.0-B-3 TM downlinks, DVB-S2X (ETSI EN 302 307-2), DVB-S2 (ETSI EN 302 307-1), and CCSDS 131.3-B-1 CADU frames over DVB-S2. It offers symbol rates from 10 ksps to 75 Msps, exceptionally clean signal output and internal processing, and a customizable processing infrastructure for easy integration into large communication systems. The flexible software architecture allows for easy extension and future virtualization of functionality, and the product comes with a 3-year warranty.
