Installation of Compact QRFH Cryogenic Receiver for VLBI & Radio Astronomy
Callisto is pleased to announce that an important milestone has been passed at the end of 2015 for its new “Compact”, zero maintenance cryogenic receiver including the Caltech designed QRFH feed: the first light on a VLBI telescope!
New Callisto Cryogenic Test Dewar
Callisto is pleased to announce the successful delivery of a new cryogenic test Dewar system for testing of various types of small components including RF. This system is cryogen-free (no liquids), operates under high vacuum and uses a GM-type refrigerator (cryocooler).
Callisto Completes Critical Phases for ESA to Develop X and Ka Band Cryo-LNAs
The Ka Band Cryo Feed Critical Design has been accepted by ESA and Callisto will start the manufacture of this receiver early in 2016.
Callisto Wins Contract to Supply X-Band Cryo Compact for NASA Lunar IceCube Mission
Callisto is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract by Morehead State University, Kentucky, USA to supply an X Band Cryo Compact Low Noise Amplifier (LNA).
Callisto wins contract to supply 26 GHz LNAs for MTG ground stations
Callisto is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract by Thales Alenia Space, Toulouse to supply Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs)
operating in the 25.5 to 27 GHz Band for the Meteosat Third Generation
(MTG) project.
Callisto has started a new contract with ESA to develop a Ka band cryogenic cooled feed receiver
In order to improve the G/T of ESA Deep Space Antennas (DSA) by 2dB, a new cryogenic receiver will be developed in collaboration with the University of Cantabria.
