The remote satellite ground station for LEO tracking is a technical system for receiving, processing, archiving and distributing various types of remote sensing satellite data. It consists of a ground receiving station and a ground processing station.It is mainly to solve the satellite vertex tracking problem.
Remote satellite ground station adopts X/Y mount to overcome the overhead blind tracking for LEO satellite.
The ground receiving station consists of large parabolic reflector and sub-reflector antennas and tape drives. The main task is to search and track satellites, receive and record satellite remote sensing data, telemetry data and satellite attitude data. The antenna has a full hemisphere tracking capability in several bands (generally X-band or S-band), and is an azimuth-tilt mounting method with an automatic tilting mechanism to solve the tracking problem of the satellite vertex tracking. For example: Antesky 4.2 m S/X dual-band antenna which is using X-Y mount for remote sensing.
Besides, 4.2m S/X dual band antenna, 4.5m S/X dual band, 5.2m X-band and 3.7m X-band have also designed as remote satellite ground station for LEO and vertex tracking.
