Satellite ground station

Our own Earth Station used to operate with satellites in various orbits (GEO, MEO, LEO).
IN DEVELOPMENT

Overview

  • Center for satellite operation and monitoring
  • Communication with geostationary (GEO), low (LEO) and medium (MEO) Earth orbit satellites
  • First-class earth station equipment for outstanding reliability
  • The first project of this scale in Czech Republic (Unique geographical location, a mild climate)
  • Available frequency spectrum - VHF, UHF, L-, S-, C-, X-, Ku-, Ka-band up to EHF (40+ GHz)
  • Earth station non-stop operated by experts
  • High level of facility security measures
