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.

Lets meet up at ISD 2022 !

Callisto Space will be present at ISD on September 28-29 – get in touch to organise a meeting!

In the frame of the recent 5-years contract awarded by ESA in order to provide the new generation of cryogenically cooled feed receivers for Deep Space Stations, Callisto has achieved a milestone.

Since the first developments of Cryogenic LNAs in S- and Ka-Band in 1999 for ESA Deep Space Station (DSS) in New Norcia (Australia), Callisto has acquired know-how and develop breakthrough technology to regularly improve reception performance for all ESA Deep Space Stations in New Norcia, Cebreros (Spain) and Malargüe (Argentina).

Cebreros and Marlaguë Deep Space stations equipped with 26 GHz downlink capability are now enabling the transfer of massive amount of scientific data to Earth.

Callisto will attend the 8Th TTC, which will be held from 24th to 27th of September 2019 at ESA – ESOC in Darmstadt, Germany.

In 2018, Callisto was awarded an ESA’s Technology Research Program contract to study and develop an RF sampling demonstrator.

Since the first developments of Cryogenic LNA in S- and Ka-Band in 1999 for ESA Deep Space Station (DSS) in New Norcia (Australia) followed by 2 other Cryogenic LNAs in X- and Ka-Bands for ESA DSS in Cebreros (Spain) and Malargüe (Argentina), Callisto has acquired a know-how and continues to improve its products with disruptive innovations.
Today, Callisto is proud to announce the development of a new X-Band cryo-cooled feed prototype for ESA DSS.

Callisto supplied the Cryogenic & Ambient LNAs at 26 GHZ GHz band for the ESA Snowbear project : a Svalbard ground station for wide-band earth observation data reception.

Callisto is pleased to announce its attendance at the 38th ESA Antenna Workshop, which will be held from 3rd to 6th of October at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, The Netherlands.
