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)

Three axes: Azimuth-over-Elevation-over-Azimuth for
complete hemispheric coverage with no “Keyhole”.

Continual improvement through all processes and systems

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

Installation leveling using an external removable inclinometer
connected to the ACU

Ease of shipment

Low Total Cost of Ownership

External Cable wraps. No rotary joint is required

Ease of installation

Minimum equipment inside pedestal

Worm gears for accurate mechanics
