- SatService will present this new product at IBC in Amsterdam at its booth F55 in hall 1
- Apexsat GmbH will present it in life use together with their 1,8m and 2,4m motorized antenna solutions also at IBC in the outdoor exhibition OE310 The sat-nms ACU19 Antenna Control System, manufactured by SatService GmbH, is used in Satellite Ground Stations to position and track the parabolic antenna in azimuth, elevation and polarization reliable to the satellite.
This specific new model is dedicated to small satellite ground station antennas up to an diameter of 2,.4m which are motorized with DC motors.
The sat-nms ACU19 is a three axis antenna positioner which provides all interfaces to three DC motors, which are commonly used in smaller antennas. It is integrated in a small 1 RU (rack unit) high 19" drawer, so it fits also in space limited satellite ground station applications.
The key feature of this antenna controller, like in any equipment belonging to the sat-nms family are its full weband ftp-server capabilities. It provides a Ethernet TCP/IP interface and optionally can be upgraded with a step track software enhancement for inclined orbit tracking for example together with the sat-nms LBRX beacon receiver from SatService.
Operation will be performed either by front panel or by the integrated web server via any type of web browser.
