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

Deep Space Tracking Antenna (6.3m/20ft Diameter)

proud to have received the maintenance contract since 2012. There were already several successful 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.
