Callisto’s 26 GHz Ambient Receiver system to support Meteosat 3rd Generation Imager, launching at the end of 2022

We are very pleased to announce the deployment of a Callisto 26GHz ambient plate system in support of ESA’s new third generation Meteosat Imager. This new meteorological satellite, set to launch at the end of 2022 (on an Ariane 5 rocket) from Kourou in French Guiana, will revolutionize weather forecasting and enable more precise monitoring of the changing atmosphere. Callisto’s high-performance 26 GHz ambient LNA system, installed in an antenna at the Lario Space Centre in Italy, will enable clear and rapid transfer of data from the geostationary satellite orbiting at 36000 km.
