Celestia eScan SL Information

Who are we? Celestia eScan belongs to the Celestia Group, a multidisciplinary set of companies with an important technological background in Radio Frequency based systems and, in general, in data transmission over radio in space and ground environments. In fact, Celestia eScan gets focused in turning the “know how” of the Celestia Group regarding DBF (Digital Beam Forming) into specific products intended for the satellite tracking stations market. Celestia eScan business: “Celestia eScan emerges as response to the current evolution of the LEO (Low Elliptic Orbit) satellites environment out there”. We are facing a scenario evolving towards a deep cost optimization of satellite systems. As result, new and different business models become possible, mainly based on much shorter in orbit life times and permanent technological update of the satellite platforms. Regarding the satellite tracking stations environment, the new upcoming scenario leads to the need for simultaneously tracking a big amount of satellites during relatively short passes, travelling at high angular rates. Given this perspective, the solutions currently available in the market mean large farms of parabolic antennas which mechanical positioning devices shall be able to update their pointing very fast. These facts immediately imply an unprecedent increase of the initial installation expenses and of the later operation and maintenance costs. “In contrast, Celestia eScan proposes the installation of a multi-beam and multi-carrier DBF based single antenna with no moving parts at all, capable of simultaneously tracking an important number of satellites, travelling at high angular rates in any direction”.
