Callisto was pleased to welcome members of the maintenance teams from ESA Deep Space Antennas to our offices in Labastide for training on cryogenic low noise amplifiers systems. Two consecutive courses of one week duration each were organised in the first half of December. In this period four engineers from Cebreros and four engineers from New Norcia deep space stations were trained.

We are currently seeking to recruit an additional engineer for our client based in Germany.

In addition to having a University degree (or equivalent) in the relevant discipline, ideal candidates shall have 5 years experience in administration and troubleshooting of networks in distributed systems. The experience shall have been made in an operational or production environment.

We are currently seeking to recruit an additional engineer for our client based in Darmstadt, Germany.

Callisto is please to announce the award of two new contracts work orders by the European Space Agency at the beginning of 2008.The contracts are concerned with the development of new cryogenic low noise amplifiers (LNAs) for satellite ground stations.

The final presentation of the results of a study into the use of the 26 GHz Frequency band for ESA ground stations was held at ESOC, Darmstadt, 31st October 2007

Callisto will participate in the Fourth International Workshop on Tracking, Telemetry and Command System for Ground and Space Application, TTC 2007

Callisto réalise actuellement une seconde étude pour le CNES, cette fois dans le cadre des Etudes Métiers attribuées au service Antennes. Cette étude concerne la définition d’une méthode de caractérisation du G/T d’antennes actives adaptée à des mesures en BCMA (Base Compacte de Mesures d’Antennes du CNES).

Callisto is proud to announce its aquisition of a new vector network analyzer ( VNA). The new VNA operates from 10 MHz to 20 GHz. With this new equipment, Callisto will be able to improve testing in terms of accuracy and efficiency. We also hope of expand our product base and offer services in new markets.

Callisto is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a major contract from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The contract is for the supply of a cryo-cooled low noise amplifier system for a satellite ground station and the contract has been awarded by the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking & Command Network (ISTRAC) located in Bangalore.
