About
The Data Receiving and Satellites Controlling Station is designed to facilitate two-way communication with small spacecraft. Its primary purpose is to receive radio signals and transmit control commands, adhering to amateur radio communication regulations. The station is built upon software-defined radio technology, offering flexibility and advanced signal processing capabilities. It includes a rotating antenna with high gain for precise targeting and two fixed survey antennas for broader coverage. For operational monitoring, the station is equipped with a web-camera to observe the rotating antenna. The product was released in 2018 and has a guaranteed service life of 1 year. The estimated production and delivery time is 3 months. It is not flight qualified and cannot be adapted to customer requirements.
