u|TpC-FM-13n-S 13 meter full-motion S-Band nilECr/V\ IOUS tt&C Satellite Ground Antenna System KEY FEATURES 13-METER FULL MOTION ANTENNA FOR TELEMETRY, TRACKING & CONTROL (TT&C) Full-motion over two axes High system availability due to high level of subsystem redundancy Equipped with dual channel Monopulse tracking system Designed for harsh environments with operational wind speeds up to 150 km/h and survival speeds up to 200 km/h The FM-130-S is a highly specialised, low maintenance and future proof antenna system, providing our international client base a robust, reliable and high performance solution. Operating in S-Band, the system is ideally suited to control medium earth orbit satellite fleets. Two FM-130-S high end satellite ground antenna systems are in use for the in-orbit validation (IOV) phase of the Galileo program. The shaped reflector, 13-meters in diameter, is optimized for high S-Band efficiency and performance. Constructed of bonded aluminium panels the reflector offers state-of-the-art transmission capabilities. REFERENCES Designed for harsh environments the entire system ensures excellent operational capabilities at wind speeds up to 150km/h (peak) and survival up to 200 km/h.
