TerraTRx
NGSO SATCOM constellations ground station solution
The TerraTRx was innovatively designed to offer the new space constellation operator a cost effective high performance ground station for tracking and operation on Ka band LEO or MEO single satellite as well as constellations of NGSO SATCOM satellites.
The TerraTRx design is based on Orbit’s vast experience in tracking antenna production gained over 40 years.
We offer a range of antenna sizes as an option
(3.5 meter as a baseline)
Main features
- Polar Mount concept, taken from the world of Astronomical observations and is best suited to track objects crossing the sky as an arch in the trajectory manner descending to and ascending from the horizon
- Three axes: Azimuth-over-Elevation-over-Azimuth for complete hemispheric coverage with no “Keyhole”.
- External Cable wraps. No rotary joint is required
- Minimum equipment inside pedestal
- Worm gears for accurate mechanics
- Installation leveling using an external removable inclinometer connected to the ACU
- Ease of shipment
- Ease of installation
- Low Total Cost of Ownership
