Description
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are constantly encircling our globe, providing visible imaging, radar screening and spectral analysis of our planet. To benefit from the data captured by these satellites, a fast and reliable communication link must be established between the moving satellites and the ground station. Communication can be established only when there is a line of sight between the satellite and the ground station. For LEO satellites, this “window” typically lasts only a few minutes and it is required to get the most of it. There is no second chance for downloading – important decisions depend on the reliability of this communication link. ORBIT’s mission-critical ground station solution is designed precisely to make sure you never lose crucial data.
