This morning, the secretary of Digital Policies, <\/span>Maria Galindo<\/b>, and the director of the IEEC, <\/span>Ignasi Ribas<\/b>, announced it in an event at the \u2018NewSpace Catalonia\u2019 stand promoted by both entities at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2024 in Milan. <\/span>Jonata Puglia<\/b>, co-founder and manager of <\/span>Leaf Space<\/span><\/a>, an international benchmark company in satellite communications services that will install and operate the ground station with the collaboration of the IEEC, participated in the announcement, which was made before the Catalan and international space ecosystem present at the congress.<\/span><\/p>\n This communications station will become a pioneering infrastructure in Catalonia, already fully equipped to offer service in the entire vertical structure of the satellite operation, which will allow companies from Catalonia and all over the world to control and receive data from satellite missions through local infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” link_font=”|700|||on||||” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n In this sense, <\/span>Maria Galindo <\/b>said that \u201cthe Sant Esteve Teleport is a key infrastructure to empower the Catalan ecosystem of space and make it more competitive in the global market, as it will allow it to provide service both on a Catalan and international scale.\u201d The secretary for Digital Policies recalled that \u201cplanting seeds to grow the ecosystem and developing key infrastructures, both for research and to accelerate the validation of technology, are two of the great objectives of the NewSpace Strategy that we at the Government promote in collaboration with the IEEC, the i2CAT Foundation and the Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia.\u201d As it is also, she added, \u201ccontinuing to promote international collaboration in this global sector, promoting the participation of the Catalan ecosystem in world space debate forums such as IAC 2024, where we facilitate the participation of 17 companies.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n In the same vein, <\/span>Ignasi Ribas<\/b> has assured that \u201cthis first terrestrial station for control and reception of satellite data in Catalonia promoted by the Government of Catalonia in collaboration with the IEEC will promote that the Catalan space ecosystem continues to develop technological innovation projects through this new incorporation of capacities in the territory\u201d. The director of the IEEC also wanted to highlight that \u201cthe satellite missions promoted by the NewSpace Strategy, such as Menut or the future GENEO-2 mission, will use the Sant Esteve Teleport station for mission control and data download\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Leaf Space, an Italian company with an office in Catalonia that offers satellite connectivity services on an international scale, will integrate the Sant Esteve Teleport station into its worldwide network, which provides satellite service in all types of orbits. The telecommunications station, with a disc diameter of approximately 4 metres, will be of tri-band type, that is, it will offer data uploading and downloading capabilities on the S-band, and downloading on the X and Ka bands of the radio spectrum.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n In this sense, <\/span>Jonata Puglia<\/b> highlighted the importance of the Catalan ecosystem for Leaf Space \u201cas a space to grow as a company\u201d and the suitability of Montsec \u201cas a location to develop new important infrastructures for the services provided by the company worldwide.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The Montsec Observatory, managed by the IEEC, is located in a unique area in Catalonia in terms of the lack of radio noise and dark sky conditions. With this first ground station for the control and reception of satellite data, the OdM\u2019s potential as an ideal location for both astronomical observation, satellite telecommunications and optical communications is expanded.<\/span> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#406fda” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Enlla\u00e7os” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Cairo|700|||||||” text_text_color=”#406fda” text_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Links<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.1em” link_font=”|700|||on|||#1a1140|” link_text_color=”#1a1140″ link_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”20px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#406fda” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Contactes” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Cairo|700|||||||” text_text_color=”#406fda” text_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Contacts<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||20px|false|false” border_width_left=”1px” border_color_left=”#406fda” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.1em” link_font=”|700|||on|||#1a1140|” link_text_color=”#1a1140″ link_line_height=”1.4em” header_4_font=”|700|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#1a1140″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
