Lanham - Dec 17, 2003 Integral Systems, Inc. said Monday that a new 6.1-meter autotracking X-Band Antenna System at the Center For Space and Remote Sensing Research (CSRSR) in Taiwan has completed acceptance testing and is operational. This system marks the inauguration of the new Explorer 12000 antenna positioner model. The Model 12000 is currently the largest of Integral's full motion tracking antenna pedestals, supporting dish antennas up to 7 meters in diameter. CSRSR, located at National Central University, is Taiwan's center of excellence for the fields of remote sensing and space research. The new antenna provided through the Integral Systems contract is equipped with electronics compatible with the X-band downlinks from the ROCSAT-2, SPOT2, 4, & 5, Terra, Aqua, ERS-2, ENVISAT, and RADARSAT remote sensing satellites. The new antenna system is integrated with the existing hardware and image processing systems at the facility. "Acceptance testing actually occurred in October, and the system's been tracking satellites daily since then," said Larry Huffman, Integral's Antenna Systems Division Director. "We're pleased to enhance CSRSR's capabilities with this high performance antenna system."
