Commercial satellite operation and control ground station is about to start construction

Sichuan News, June 4th (Liu Zhongjun, Liang Lei) – Tianfu New Area Meishan Huantian Smart Company revealed on the 4th that the Huantian Constellation Satellite Ground Station project has been approved and will soon start construction work next to Longchisi Reservoir in Meishan Shigao Street, Tianfu New Area.
According to the plan, the total land area of the satellite ground station of the Constellation satellite is 872 square meters, including a 211 square meter antenna tower base and a 94 square meter auxiliary building. The core facility, a 12 meter diameter antenna, will significantly enhance the satellite’s data transmission and reception capabilities and stability. The ground station is the hub of the satellite system. Currently, the satellite measurement and control in Meishan, Tianfu New Area mainly relies on leasing ground stations from other places, which creates bottlenecks in data flow efficiency and security. Yang Zhenyu, Deputy General Manager of Huantian Smart Company, said that after completion, it will achieve autonomous measurement and operation control of the Tiantian constellation.
It is understood that satellite ground stations are key infrastructure in satellite communication and monitoring systems. After the ground station is built and put into operation, it can not only reduce the cost of data usage for enterprises, but also attract upstream and downstream supporting projects, further strengthening the “satellite+” industry cluster. Meishan in Tianfu New Area already has a satellite constellation (circum satellite constellation), China Western Satellite Industry Park, and satellite measurement and operation control center. The ground station is the last piece of the puzzle in the layout of the aerospace industry.
With the landing of the ground station, Meishan will become the only city in China that has the full chain capability of satellite research and development, measurement and control, application, and data transmission and reception, forming a closed-loop ecology of “research and development operation application”.
It is reported that after the completion of the Constellation Satellite Ground Station project, it will become the largest commercial satellite measurement and operation control station in Sichuan Province.
