New Contract with BKG AGGO

Celestia Callisto launches a new project for BKG’s AGGO site in Argentina

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.

The 6 m antenna, which is operated by a joint Argentine and German team, supplies amongst other things information for the VLBI world network. The new receiver shall amplify signals received in S and X band in order to improve data reception quality (lower noise temperature, so improved G/T). Powered by a Sumitomo cold head, the cryogenic system will descend to temperatures of at or below 20 K.

The project requires on-site installation and commissioning support by the Celestia Callisto team. We are very happy to be able to support our customers from A to Z and offer a quality of service in adequation with the quality of our products.
