The Terran Orbital-owned stations consist of both high gain UHF antennas and 3.7 m three-axis servo stabilized tracking antennas with both S-band transmit and receive and X-band receive capabilities. The ground network utilizes in-house-built station control and antenna time scheduling software and is operated by a skilled staff on-site at our Mission Operations Center in Irvine, California. Partner stations expand our network with additional UHF, S/X-Band, and Ka-Band capabilities.
