Dafür sind verschiedene Antennensysteme über den Globus verteilt, um mit Satelliten und Raumsonden zu kommunizieren. Ich sprach am #ESOC in Darmstadt mit Gerhard Billig über die Geschichte und den Aufbau des #ESTRACK und über technische und planerische Aspekte.

#VA266 #ESA #ESTRACK
Fin dalla sua istituzione nel 1975, la rete #Estrack ha costituito un ponte di comunicazione vitale tra i satelliti in orbita e il controllo di missione presso il Centro europeo per le operazioni spaziali dell' @esa.int (ESOC) in Germania.

Il 2025 segna un traguardo importante per la rete globale di stazioni di terra dell'ESA, #Estrack.

📡 2025 marked a landmark year for #Estrack, ESA’s global network of ground stations.
Since its inception in 1975, Estrack has formed a vital communication bridge between satellites in orbit and mission control at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC).

Oggi @esa.int ha inaugurato in Australia una nuova #antenna per le comunicazioni con lo spazio profondo: New Norcia 3 (NNO3). Entrerà in servizio come parte della rete #ESTRACK dell'Agenzia nel 2026.

The antenna is part our satellite tracking network - #Estrack - which turned 50 this year!

ESA's 35m deep space antenna at Cebreros, Spain. This station is part of the ESTRACK network (pic: ESA/D.Scuka)
#ThisWeek 2️⃣0️⃣ years ago: 28 September 2005, ESA's then latest deep space antenna was inaugurated at Cebreros, Spain. Built on the site of a former NASA tracking station, the 35 m antenna is part of ESA's worldwide #ESTRACK tracking network.

ESA's Cebreros antenna transmitting the Blue Danube Waltz
📡 Did you miss it? Last week, we made history (and music)!
ESA and Vienna made history by transmitting a live performance of The Blue Danube Waltz into space from its Cebreros #Estrack deep space antenna in Spain.
Relive the magic here 👉 www.esa.int/Enabling_Sup...
Interested in knowing more about Cebreros?
You can track its activities in real time, as well as that of all our #Estrack antennas here: estracknow.esa.int
The Cebreros station and the 5 other #Estrack stations help to keep an eye on satellites no matter their location:
🌍 Tracking them across Earth orbit,
☄️ Voyaging to comets or asteroids,
☀️ Keeping station at the scientifically important Sun-Earth Lagrange points,
🌌 Deep into our Solar System.
📡50 años de seguimiento de satélites
Durante los últimos 50 años, la red de seguimiento de satélites #Estrack de @esa.int ha vigilado los satélites independientemente de su ubicación: órbita terrestre, viajando a cometas o asteroides, puntos de Lagrange y en las profundidades de nuestro Sist. Solar👇
📡50 years of satellite tracking!
Over the past 50 years, ESA’s #Estrack satellite tracking network has kept an eye on satellites no matter their location: tracking them across Earth orbit, voyaging to comets or asteroids, at Lagrange points, & deep into our Solar System.
