Graz-Lustbühel satellite station, Satellite observatory in Waltendorf district, Graz, Austria.
The Graz-Lustbühel satellite station operates advanced equipment for cosmic and satellite geodesy measurements on a hilltop location near the city limits.
The station originated in 1943 when land near Lustbühel Castle was leased for constructing a small astronomical observation facility.
The facility combines research efforts from the University of Graz, Graz University of Technology, and the Austrian Academy of Sciences in space observation programs.
The station maintains precise distance measurements to navigation satellites through GPS and GLONASS receivers, supporting future Galileo satellite operations.
The third-generation Satellite Laser Ranging unit achieves measurements with accuracy below one centimeter, marking significant progress in tracking technology.
