GROUND STATIONS TELESCOPE SYSTEMS
ADVANCED SOLUTIONS
FOR SPACE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Observatory Stations ground station telescope systems provide the foundational infrastructure required to build optical ground segments for space-related applications. Rather than delivering closed, mission-specific observatories, these systems are developed to handle the most critical and complex elements of an optical ground station, including dome, mount, automation and remote operation, while leaving customers free to select and integrate the optical tube and imaging sensors best suited to their mission. Observatory Stations are designed to support a wide range of applications, such as Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST), remote satellite imaging, scientific research and education.
Observatory Stations ground station telescope systems are built on the technological foundations pf PL-GSS. Technologies such as FusionTCU enable precise motion control, automation and safe autonomous operations. SpaceSyncAlign simplifies on-site deployment and alignment of optical systems, reducing commissioning time and operational complexity. SystemHealthSTS continuously monitors the status of critical components, including motors, encoders and internal environmental parameters. Automated tracking and advanced scheduling allow optical missions to be executed consistently and repeatably, in line with Space Situational Awareness, satellite imaging and research requirements. Built with an open software architecture, Observatory Stations systems expose RESTful, encrypted APIs for direct integration with third-party mission control software.

Key Features
- Design and Technology: Our ground station telescope systems are designed with precision engineering to operate also under difficult environmental conditions, ensuring the right protection for high-value equipment. Featuring advanced mechanics and remote control technology, our optical ground stations are provided with robust domes, providing resilience against harsh climates, including high/low temperatures and high wind speeds. Our domes can be equipped also with automated safety features for emergency response to power loss or bad weather events.
- Innovation: we integrate into our ground station telescope systems our state-of-the-art technology, including EAGLE control computer, ESATTO and SESTO SENSO focusing solutions, ECCO environmental module, GIOTTO flat field generator and ALTO telescope cover motor, everything remotely controlled.
- Turn-Key Solutions: we offer complete turn-key solutions, from initial design and manufacturing to installation and user training. Each ground station telescope system is fully assembled and tested in our headquarters in Italy before shipping. Our comprehensive service includes consultation, planning, worldwide whipping, installation service and integration of all necessary components, such as telescopes, sensors, and communication equipment.
