Station terrienne de télécommunications spatiales de Lessive, Satellite ground station in Lessive, Belgium.
The station features multiple large parabolic antennas dedicated to satellite communications, positioned within a forested area in the Namur province.
Established in 1972, the Lessive ground station enabled intercontinental telephone communications through satellites like Eutelsat and Intelsat until its closure in 2001.
The station represents Belgium's contribution to global telecommunications infrastructure, serving as a symbol of technological advancement in the Wallonia region.
The facility remains accessible for exterior photography, with roadside parking available and clear directional signs from the E411 highway featuring a satellite dish symbol.
The current real estate development plans for the site maintain the existing antenna structures while transforming surrounding areas into residential spaces.
