SCHREIBER + WEINERT is one of the leading suppliers of some of the most remarkable and technologically advanced equipment in the world – earth stations.

Ground stations are critical components in communications between different points on the earth or between the earth and satellites or spacecraft. The essential functions that earth stations perform are:

  1. Communication with satellites: Ground stations send signals to and receive signals from satellites. This is fundamental for numerous applications, including television broadcasts, internet connections, GPS services and more.
  2. Data transmission: Ground stations play a central role in the transmission of data. Whether it is scientific data from space missions, weather information from meteorological satellites or communication data, ground stations are the interface that receives, processes and forwards this information.
  3. Monitoring and control: Ground stations monitor the status and health of satellites and other spacecraft. They send commands and software updates and adjust orbital parameters to ensure functionality and correct positioning in space.
  4. Navigation support: Ground stations are essential for the functioning of navigation systems such as GPS by ensuring the accuracy and reliability of location data.
  5. Scientific research: Ground stations contribute to scientific research by collecting data from space telescopes, planetary probes and other scientific missions. This data can include information about the universe, other planets, the Earth’s climate and more.
  6. Emergency communications: In times of natural disasters or other emergencies, Ground stations can be critical to keeping lines of communication open when other systems fail.

Ground stations are true marvels of technology that enable data to be sent and received over vast distances. Through their multitude of functions and services, these communication hubs are an integral part of the global infrastructure, supporting a wide range of industries and scientific fields and playing a key role in the interconnected world.
