Celestia UK in action - eScan Gateway for Mega-constellations
This novel ground station concept combines gateway and telemetry, tracking and command (TTC) services with advanced electronic scanning multi-beam antenna capable of simultaneously tracking several Ka-band satellites of LEO and MEO megaconstellations, providing large bandwidths for each tracked satellite.
Its unique single electronic scanning multi beam antenna removes the need for a large number of different motorised beams tracking different satellites. Just one unit with a highly compact footprint, it does the work of a large network of parabolic antennas. With no moving parts or complex drive mechanisms, it drastically reduces maintenance costs. Thanks to its modular approach, it can be reconfigured to incorporate new features or satellite tracking capabilities.
With low OPEX and CAPEX, the eScan Gateway provides an all-in-one multibeam and multifunctional gateway for key players across the satellite megaconstellation arena.
