WORK Microwave, one of the leading manufacturers of advanced satellite communications equipment, launched recently its cutting-edge Virtual Ground Station® (VGS). The state-of-the-art VGS architecture is based on a modular design consisting of three functional blocks offering an end-to-end virtualization of ground station infrastructure: conversion of received RF signals in all possible frequency bands into a digitized signal according to DIFI or other digital signal standards, separation of individual digitized channels, and cloud-based wideband signal processing by a virtualized software modem.

For the first time, a German company has successfully  launched a commercially viable launch vehicle. At the Australian launch site in Koonibba, HyImpulse, a German manufacturer and system provider of commercial launch vehicles for satellite transport, successfully test-launched the 12-metre-long and 2.5-tonne single-stage rocket "SR75", which can transport small satellites weighing up to 250 kg to an altitude of around 250 km. At 14:40 PM ACST or 7:10 AM CET, the launch vehicle lifted off successfully and the hybrid rocket propulsion system of the launch vehicle operated as planned. After the successful lift-off, the SR75 will be retrieved for further examination and analysis of the data.

The South American country of Peru is home to 34.5 million people. It’s a country of diverse geography, featuring coastal deserts, rainforests and mountain ranges. Around a third of Peru’s population have settled along the desert coastal belt and around the capital city of Lima, and roughly half live in the Andean highlands.
