This deep space satellite tracking antenna has been developed and designed in 2010/2011 by WTW engineer. Since early 2012, the System is in full operation at DLR Neustrelitz. WTW Anlagenbau GmbH is
proud to have received the maintenance contract in 2012. There were already several successfully completed upgrades. One of the major upgrades was to increase the G/T of 17,68dB/°K to 19,05dB/°K by developing a new feed.
Thereby our customer could integrate the antenna in a more sophisticated project.
