Projects

Based on 25 years experience as a leading specialist in cryogenic systems, Callisto has recently organized a training course for Cebreros Deep Space Antenna O&M team.

In partnership with Western Systems, its representative in India, Callisto has supplied S/X Band Ultra Cryoegenic LNAs to ISTRAC since 2008 and the appropriate maintenance service (AMC) as required by the Ultra systems.

In 2018, Callisto was awarded an ESA’s Technology Research Program contract to study and develop an RF sampling demonstrator.

Callisto is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in the USA for the next generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) project.

Since the first developments of Cryogenic LNA in S- and Ka-Band in 1999 for ESA Deep Space Station (DSS) in New Norcia (Australia) followed by 2 other Cryogenic LNAs in X- and Ka-Bands for ESA DSS in Cebreros (Spain) and Malargüe (Argentina), Callisto has acquired a know-how and continues to improve its products with disruptive innovations.
Today, Callisto is proud to announce the development of a new X-Band cryo-cooled feed prototype for ESA DSS.

Callisto supplied the Cryogenic & Ambient LNAs at 26 GHZ GHz band for the ESA Snowbear project : a Svalbard ground station for wide-band earth observation data reception.

Last month, the SKA Meeting on “Low energy cryogenic solutions for SKA” was hosted at Callisto premises in Villefranche de Lauragais (close to Toulouse) on March 7, 2017 with the support of the SKA France coordination.

Callisto is proud to announce that another important milestone has been reached for its VLBI products lineup. Three units of our QRFH Compact Cryogenic Receiver have been delivered to the University of Tasmania (UTAS) for its AuScope VLBI Network. The three receivers will be installed at the three AuScope telescopes across the Australia’s continent, at Yarragadee (WA), Katherine (NT) and Hobart (TAS) built in 2010.

Callisto is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract by the Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie to supply QRFH Ultra Cryogenic Receiver for VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) application. BKG is responsible in Germany as a federal office for tographical basic data, cartography and geodesic reference systems.

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.
