SatService GmbH, a Germany-based provider of advanced satellite ground systems and a subsidiary of Calian Group Ltd., announced it has been awarded a contract by the Federal Ministry of Defence of Germany, represented by the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich, to deliver an advanced, full-service Q/V-Band satellite ground station in support of scientific and modern military satellite communications (satcom). Under the terms of the agreement, SatService will design, manufacture, test and deliver the satellite ground station, including a high performance 4-metre antenna system. Once complete, the satellite ground station will operate in the Q/V-band frequency range for geostationary orbit (GEO) applications, a capability currently unavailable at the University.
