Successful SAT for the BKG Wettzell
Successful SAT, Installation, and Commissioning at the AGGO Telescope in Argentina
We are proud to announce the successful completion of the Site Acceptance Test (SAT), installation, and commissioning of our specialized cryogenic receiver system at the AGGO (Argentine-German Geodetic Observatory) telescope located near La Plata, Argentina.
AGGO is jointly operated by the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG, Germany) and the Argentine National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET). As a key station within the global VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) network, AGGO plays a vital role in maintaining the International Terrestrial Reference Frame and contributing to high-precision Earth orientation and geodetic measurements.
Our cryo receiver solution was installed and commissioned successfully, meeting all performance targets and demonstrating exceptional stability under operational conditions. This milestone further enhances AGGO’s capabilities for geodetic VLBI observations, ensuring the observatory remains at the forefront of global geodetic research.
We are honored to support AGGO and the broader VLBI community with state-of-the-art cryogenic receiver technology. Our team is proud to contribute to advancing global geodesy and radio astronomy through reliable, high-performance front-end systems that enable the most precise measurements possible.
A big thank you to the AGGO/BKG teams for their collaboration and hospitality throughout the project. We look forward to continuing our support of the VLBI community and empowering observatories around the world with cutting-edge cryo receiver solutions.
Here’s to continued success, stronger networks, and precise science—together.
