The European space agency designs rockets and space vehicles while providing launching facilities and services to scientific and space organizations worldwide. The agency was looking for a highly dynamic and accurate ground station to support fast acquisition and telemetry during rocket launch and flight phases. The system was also required to withstand very low temperatures. ORBIT’s 5 meter telemetry system was installed on site – the results: a fast and accurate tracking system with zero data loss. Another project is Satellite Tracking. The space agency required a complete TT&C solution for transmitting & downloading data and monitoring their satellites. ORBIT’s earth observation solution the Gaia-100 3.7m ground station incorporating s/x bands feed was the perfect solution for their requirements.
