Callisto’s participation in the LEOP of ESA’s Herschel and Planck Mission

“For any space mission, the ground segment is vital for operating a spacecraft and processing data received from its instrument. Planck is no different, with hardware, software, telecommunication and other operations reaching from Spain to Australia” said Damien Texier, Directorate of Science and Robotic Exploration , at ESAC, Spain.

Study on future architectures of ESA deep space stations

The objective is to study and investigate solutions for building ground stations for future Deep Space missions for exploration of the outer reaches of the solar system.In the coming decades ESA is planning to send spacecraft to explore the planetary systems of Jupiter and Saturn.In order to communicate with spacecraft at distances of up to 1 billion kms from the Earth, a new generation of Ground Stations will be required with much greater sensitivity in reception and power for transmission.
