Brief Description (Abstract):

Space Applications Centre, Ahmedabad has installed and commissioned a 3 m C-Band Earth Station at Maitri. The commissioning of SATCOM link between Maitri, Antarctica and mainland India sets a new landmark in ISRO's SATCOM programme. With the commissioning of the counter-part Earth Station at NCAOR, Goa; the Indian Antarctic Station, Maitri is now connected to the World Wide Web.

Status: Completed

Purpose: The commissioning of SATCOM link between Maitri, Antarctica and mainland India sets a new landmark in ISROs SATCOM programme. The excellent project planning, system engineering &amp design and fabrication of the antenna &amp its platform have made it possible to transport the Earth Station material from ship to Maitri by helicopter. It was a real challenge to men and machine to shift and install the antenna system and radome at the worlds coldest and windiest place. It required good engineering efforts and skills to commission the SATCOM link, at such a low elevation angle, against all odds in a record time.
