INTREPID 500-12 5.0m ground station antenna system for S/X-band
INTREPID500-12
INTREPID 500-12 is the new generation 5.0m ground station antenna system designed to revolutionise space communication applications since it provides advanced hardware features together with native integration with Radio2SpaceCom platform to let you easily create or expand your ground segment thanks to customizable APIs for easy integration, optional cloud services for remote management, and cross-platform software for direct control. This way academia, industry, research institutions or ground segment operators now have a ready-to-use solution to support LEO satellites and deep space missions.
INTREPID 500-12 features a precise 5.0m solid dish antenna capable of recording frequencies up to 12 GHz, and GS-800II antenna tracking system with N-ACU Next generation Antenna Control Unit for high-precision tracking, remotely controlled with fast slew speeds (up to 19°/sec) and elevation axis flip to avoid any keyhole effect. INTREPID 500-12 can be used with third party frontends and backends or it can be equipped with S/X Dual-Band Coaxial Feed for L, LHC and RHC polarization.
INTREPID 500-12 5.0m ground station antenna system for S/X-band - main features:
- 5 meter diameter prime focus full dish antenna, for frequencies up to 12 GHz.
- High speed (up to 19°/s) GS-800II antenna tracking system with N-ACU Next generation Antenna Control Unit: connected to Control Room with a standard network cable up to 100 meters long, thanks to the optional MoF (Mount-over-Fiber) kit, you can position the antenna even further by replacing the network cable with a dedicated optical fiber that can be up to 2km long.
- High load capacity C800-HEAVY pier for concrete base.
- Automatic tracking based on TLE, also with target offset.
- Elevation axis flip, no keyhole effect.
- Automatic heating system of internal gears.
- Gears sealed and humidity sensor.
- Integrated safety system with emergency stop button (optional light and audio signals).
- Industrial-Grade temperature working range: INTREPID 500-12 antenna and tracking system is able to work in environments with temperatures from -25°C to +55°C
- Provided with Radio2SpaceCom APIs to easily integrate in Mission Control softwares.
- Optional Radio2SpaceCom Cloud and Radio2SpaceCom Software to remotely control INTREPID ground stations.
- Optional Mount-over-Fiber kit for INTREPID ground station antenna system.
- Optional Internal cooling system.
- Optional Wind sensor for INTREPID ground station antenna system.
- Optional Optical encoders and maintenance kit.
- Optional S/X Dual-Band Coaxial Feed for L, LHC and RHC polarization.
- Optional High accuracy panels, for frequencies up to 20 GHz.
INTREPID 500-12 5.0m has been designed to avoid the keyhole effect of targets passing through zenith. In fact, not only INTREPID 500-12 provides very fast movements on its axes (it’s able to make a complete 0-360° azimuth rotation in just 24 seconds and 5-175° elevation in just 15 seconds) but it’s also able to flip in elevation allowing continuous tracking of satellites passing to the Zenith. This special feature makes the INTREPID 500-12 ground station antenna system the best choice for any space communication application.
