Antwerp Space NV, a subsidiary of OHB AG (ISIN: DE0005936124, Prime Standard), and ESA, the European Space Agency, signed a contract for the design and development of a next generation of the Advanced Data Acquisition System, also known as OMNISAT. The contract has a value of EUR 2.2 million and covers activities for the Earth observation modem activities of Antwerp Space until 2014.
The 3rd generation of the equipment, marketed as OMNISAT-G3, will provide much higher data through-put rates using modern demodulation schemes, capable to receive and demodulate all current and near future satellites transmitting Earth observation data.
Guy Van Dijck, General Manager of Antwerp Space, comments: "Antwerp Space has an established experience for designing and developing high-end modem products like the OMNISAT Earth observation data acquisition system. The award of this contract to develop a next generation of the Earth observation OMNISAT is again a great achievement for the company and shows our commitment to further continue to develop highly specialized modems being used in Space ground segments."
