Specialists say that once a satellite enters orbit, they need to know where other space vehicles are.

Scientists from the University of Tasmania, together with the Australian Space Agency, have developed a space antenna. It will track ships and satellites in space. This was reported by Miragenews.

Professor Simon Ellingsen said it was a 7.3-meter antenna, located 70 kilometers north of the city of Hobart in the south of the Australian island of Tasmania. The device will provide Earth communication for satellites in low Earth orbit.

“Before, we could only listen to transmissions from the spacecraft, but now we can send radio frequency messages to the spacecraft, sending commands as well as receiving data. All over the world, satellites are being launched in space more often. To launch and keep these assets safe then before they go into orbit, we need to know where other vehicles are in space,” he said.

At the same time, according to the head of the Australian Space Agency, Enrico Palermo, the antenna will further strengthen the country’s position as a strong and attractive partner in space.

Remember, on January 13, the EU authorities and the Swedish King, Carl XVI Gustaf, inaugurated the first spaceport on the mainland of the European Union for the launch of satellites.
