About
The Ground Station is a ground control station specifically engineered for interacting with spacecraft. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the control of satellites and enable communication sessions. Released in 2018, it boasts a guaranteed service life of 1 year and an estimated production/delivery time of 6 months. The product is flight qualified and offers the possibility of adaptation to meet specific customer requirements. Key features include a rotation speed of 2 degrees per second on every axis, automated antenna rotation control, and operation across two radio frequency bands: 140-150 MHz and 400-450 MHz. It provides an antenna gain of 18 dBi for the 400-450 MHz range and 8 dBi for the 140-150 MHz range, with an antenna SWR of no more than 1.5. The transmission power at the input of the antenna system for both frequency ranges is 20 Wt, supporting reception/transmission rates from 9600 to 38400 bit/s.
