Our ground station is one step closer to operations, as we now can track satellites with both antennas simultaneously.

From the video, the experienced satellite antenna engineer will observe that the antennas don’t exactly point in the same direction. Directional calibration of the UHF, as well as installation of the rest of the RF equipment remains.

The satellite we tracked was LUME-1 (University of Porto (Portugal), Laboratoire d’analyse et d’architecture des systèmes (France), Universidade de Vigo(Spain) and Alén Space (Spain)). This satellite is also used by our PhD-student Gara Quintana Diaz for doing in-orbit interference measurements.
