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 ESA station maintenance team of Deep Space Antenna 3 (Malargüe, Argentine) has received support from Callisto for the preventive maintenance of the X-Band cryogenicUltra Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs).
Callisto has delivered the critical cryo-LNA sub-system comprising three X-Band amplifiers three Ka-Band amplifiers to SED Systems, the prime contractor for the DSA3 project. Callisto had already supplied the cryo-LNAs sub-systems for the previous two deep space stations, the first (DSA1) located in Western Australia and the second (DSA2) located in Spain. DSA3 is being built near the small town of Malargüe in Mendoza province about 1000 km west of Buenos Aires.
