A ground station is a vital component of satellite operations, responsible for receiving, decoding, and storing valuable data from space. At Spacemanic, we operate our ground stations in Slovakia and manage several others across Central Europe. These stations are equipped with high-precision technology from a Slovak manufacturer, allowing for accurate satellite tracking with better than 0.1-degree precision using a 100 kg parabolic antenna. This level of accuracy is essential for maintaining stable connections at frequencies above 1 GHz. Our ground segment is available to support mission operations, scientific research, and amateur radio projects. We also collaborate with other receiving stations to ensure comprehensive signal reception for our satellites.
A key element of our ground segment is the custom-developed decoding software that we use to display telemetry data from individual satellites.
Global ground station services
We also offer access to a global satellite ground station network, providing comprehensive coverage and support for your satellite operations.
Access to this network will let you answer the following questions:
- Where is my CubeSat right now? Real-time tracking of your satellite’s location.
- What observations occurred today? Detailed logs of daily satellite observations.
- What signal was received during a particular observation? Insights into the signal strength and quality during specific observation windows.
- What data was received? Interpretation and presentation of the actual data collected from your satellite.
