One of our main product lines involves cryogenic refrigeration technology, which requires a large amount of electrical energy to supply Helium compressors and water chillers. As part of the Company’s policy to respond to the world climate change issue, we want to investigate how we can reduce our overall energy consumption and our carbon footprint. Specific ideas related to the cooling of Helium compressors will be investigated as well as more conventional energy efficiency methods for the office infrastructure. Alternative means of energy generation will also be investigated. If successful, ideas for saving energy for cooling Helium compressors will be passed on to our end customers including the European Space Agency, for possible implementation in satellite ground stations.

Cette étude concerne la définition d’une méthode de caractérisation du G/T d’antennes actives adaptée à des mesures en BCMA (Base Compacte de Mesures d’Antennes du CNES).
Callisto a défini une méthode originale pour la mesure du G/T de stations sol et a déjà développé un système correspondant, appelé NTMS (Noise Temperature Measurement System) dans le cadre d’une étude ESA. L’objet de cette étude est de proposer une évolution de ce système pour convenir au besoin formulé par le CNES.

Callisto is a SME working in the area of space technology. This field of work requires high standards of quality assurance (QA). Callisto’s principle customer is the European Space Agency (ESA). Although ESA does not currently require its contractors to operate under a formal QA regime such as being ISO9000 qualified, it is becoming increasing important to develop standards within contracting organisations which approach or better ISO9000 standards. Coupled with this is the development in the ESA arena of a set of QA standards under the umbrella of the ECSS.

Callisto has already started on developing various internal procedures and documents with the aim of eventually conforming to ISO and ECSS standards. The project concerned is to develop additional written procures in this area. It is also an aim to develop some IT tools to assist with the day- to-day implementation of these procedures within the office PC network.

The contract is for the supply of a cryo-cooled low noise amplifier system for a satellite ground station and the contract has been awarded by the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking & Command Network (ISTRAC) located in Bangalore. ISTRAC is responsible for the development and operation of a worldwide network of ground stations to support of India’s space programme. ISTRAC has recently embarked on the development of a new ground station for scientific satellites, which will be sent out of Earth orbit to explore the solar system, so called “Deep Space” missions. For these Deep Space missions a very sensitive ground station is required featuring a large antenna and needing very sensitive cryo-cooled low noise amplifiers.


Callisto a remporté un important contrat avec l’ISRO ( Indian Space Research Organisation).

Ce contrat a été signé avec l’ISTRAC ( ISRO Telemetry, Tracking & Command Network) basé à Bangalore et porte sur la livraison d’un système d’amplificateur cryogénique faible bruit pour une station sol. L’ISTRAC est en charge du développement et de l’opération du réseau mondial de stations sol qui interviennent dans le programme spatial indien. L’ISTRAC s’est récemment lancé dans le développement d’une nouvelle station sol pour les satellites scientifiques qui seront envoyés hors de l’orbite terrestre pour explorer le système solaire, dans le cadre de missions dites “lointaines”. Ce type de mission lointaine nécessite une station sol très sensible, avec une grande antenne et des amplificateurs cryogéniques faible bruit très sensibles.
