Mobile Tracking Satellite Antenna


The mobile Tracking Satellite Antenna (AP MSPI) is a mobile highly accurate tracking positioner designed to support large-sized antennas for tracking of LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellites, MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) satellites and GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) satellites of S, C, X, Ku, Ка bands and above.

Typical Applications:

• Aeronautical Test Telemetry
• Navigation applications
• Space and tropospheric communication systems
• High resolution earth observation missions
• Weather Radar

Key Features:

• Zero backlash enabling high torque and stability
• Brushless motor
• Modular & easily maintainable
• Robust, reliable and environmentally durable
• High cross on any types of terrain

Supported Antenna Reflector Size:

• Up to 3.8m
