Funkmessstelle für Weltraumfunk, Space radio monitoring station in Riedstadt, Germany
The facility operates multiple antennas capable of receiving signals within frequencies from 130 MHz to 13 GHz for satellite communication monitoring and analysis.
The German Federal Post Office initiated the station's planning, leading to its official opening on October 28, 1980 as part of European telecommunications development.
The station supports educational institutions by providing research opportunities and conducting informational events about space communication technologies.
The main Cassegrain antenna features a 12-meter diameter reflector that can rotate 270 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees vertically for optimal signal reception.
Four logarithmic-periodic antennas work together to capture signals of any polarization in the lower frequency range of satellite communications.
