Sparte 700

Sparte 700 is the large-aperture member of Safran Data Systems’ telemetry tracking-antenna range. With reflector classes of approximately 6.1 metres and 7.3 metres, it is intended for missions where high gain is needed to maintain the telemetry link over long distances or with demanding vehicles. Safran identifies aircraft and space-launch tracking among its principal uses. The dual-axis pedestal follows dynamic targets, while selectable RF feeds and station electronics adapt the antenna to the mission’s bands and signal chain. It can be integrated with Safran receiver and control systems for a complete ground segment. Final performance is configuration and link-budget dependent.
