Months of preparation will come down to a few hours of intensive work tomorrow. Our services; Big or small, we want your mission to be successful; Ground Segment as a Service Our initial ground segment capability has been designed to support smallsat LEO and MEO missions. Awarua Radio was a New Zealand Government (Post & Telegraph Department, later NZ Post Office) wireless telegraph station, located at Awarua, between Invercargill and Bluff on the South Island of New Zealand. The preparatory works (civil works, road adaptation, concrete platform, power, telecommunications, fences, etc.) Its location and its relative isolation from an urban centre are the reasons it exists; Awarua has a high latitude, low horizons and lack of radio interference.
From this orbit the ATV will use its own propulsion system to automatically reach and dock with the ISS.The mission analysis for this specific Ariane 5/ATV flight confirmed the need to monitor over southern Oceania (Australia and New Zealand) the separation of the ATV, its injection into the target orbit and the third ignition of the launcher’s upper stage.ESA decided to expand the existing Ariane ground tracking and telemetry station network for this purpose.

Other uses. Today ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain and Her Excellency Ms Sarah Dennis, New Zealand's Ambassador to France, signed an arrangement on the installation of a transportable telemetry station to track the Ariane 5 launcher that will carry into orbit ESA’s Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) for its maiden flight in autumn this year.Europe's ATV will be one of the vital supply craft for the International Space Station, delivering equipment and spare parts as well as food, air and water for its permanent crew. And everything is clean," Mr Korkie said.On the go and no time to finish that story right now? It is a fantastic place. About an hour later, when the booster and its payload are about 300km above the earth, the launcher should separate from the ATV - right above Awarua. ESA-NZ Agreement. Formerly New Zealand's main radio receiving station, Awarua is a site for upper-atmosphere research. With Southland having a broad range of industry including dairy factories, meat processors and New Zealand’s only aluminium smelter through to the Awarua tracking station spread across the region, they have a diverse range of members to network with and sites to visit. TT&C.
An initial survey mission took place in New Zealand in March 2004, the aim being to find a suitable setting for a transportable telemetry station, able to satisfy the very stringent visibility requirements imposed by the mission.After extensive preliminary analysis, a site in the Awarua area of Invercargill was eventually selected due to its excellent visibility of the trajectory.
