Space communication got a whole lot cooler! ❄️
In July 2024, our Malargüe station in Argentina completed a super cool upgrade—literally! By chilling its antenna feed to -263°C using cryogenic tech, it can now handle up to 80% more data from missions like Juice and BepiColombo.
With more data, clearer signals, and cutting-edge tech, our ground stations are ready for the future of space exploration.
