Projects

We are very happy to announce a successful FAT for our most recent project with Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie (BKG) to equip one of their antennas at the Wettzell site.

The Celestia-Callisto team is very pleased to announce that they have been engaged to complete the refurbishment of the Cryogenic RF system of the AGGO (Argentine-German Geodetic Observatory) radio telescope in Pereyra, Argentina.

Celestia Callisto has signed a contract with the German Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) to supply a new cryogenic receiver for their 20 m. radio telescope located in Wettzell, Germany.

We are very pleased to announce the deployment of a Callisto 26GHz ambient plate system in support of ESA’s new third generation Meteosat Imager. This new meteorological satellite, set to launch at the end of 2022 (on an Ariane 5 rocket) from Kourou in French Guiana, will revolutionize weather forecasting and enable more precise monitoring of the changing atmosphere. Callisto’s high-performance 26 GHz ambient LNA system, installed in an antenna at the Lario Space Centre in Italy, will enable clear and rapid transfer of data from the geostationary satellite orbiting at 36000 km.

Callisto Space was very happy to welcome Mr Umang Parikh (Dy General Manager, Senior Engineer, ISTRAC) and Mr Arvind Balu (Business Development Manager with our Indian representative company, Western Systems) to our offices in Villefranche du Lauragais for a visit and meetings on June 17, 2022.

Callisto is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract by Thales Alenia Space – Toulouse to supply Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) systems operating in the 25.5 to 27 GHz Band for the Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) project.

Celestia UK, the UK member of the Celestia Technologies group, is running the e-Scan project focusing on Satellite ground Stations and Gateways, based on fully electronic scanning antennas for the (non GEO) satellite tracking stations market.

In the frame of the recent 5-years contract awarded by ESA in order to provide the new generation of cryogenically cooled feed receivers for Deep Space Stations, Callisto has achieved a milestone.

Since the first developments of Cryogenic LNAs in S- and Ka-Band in 1999 for ESA Deep Space Station (DSS) in New Norcia (Australia), Callisto has acquired know-how and develop breakthrough technology to regularly improve reception performance for all ESA Deep Space Stations in New Norcia, Cebreros (Spain) and Malargüe (Argentina).

Cebreros and Marlaguë Deep Space stations equipped with 26 GHz downlink capability are now enabling the transfer of massive amount of scientific data to Earth.
