NEW ES&S GROUNDSTATION IN ANTARCTICA

Environmental Systems and Services have completed the installation and commissioning of a satellite groundstation for the Chinese National Satellite Oceanographic Applications Service (NSOAS) at their Antarctic base. The base, located in King George Island, is operational all year round. The new SATRAX 700 groundstation will have the capability to receive both L-band and X-band signals, allowing it to provide images from a wide range of remote sensing satellites. The received data will be used to study the climate and environment at this scientific research centre. Satellites received include Terra, Aqua, and all the NOAA satellites.

In addition to the dual band tracking mount and radome, the SATRAX700 groundstation includes a full software suite for generating navigated and calibrated imagery and data products. As part of the contract, ES&S supplied its METEOR image processing suite, allowing operators to manipulate the raw data and generate high quality images and output products, such as sea surface temperature, sea ice, snow cover, ocean chlorophyll concentration, and a range of atmospheric products used for Antarctic research and forecasting.
