From HandWiki - Reading time: 2 min
ANARESAT or Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions Satellite is a communication solution using Intelsat Geostationary communication satellites to allow Australian Antarctic Division sites to communicate.[1][2] The ANARESAT system was the primary communications link for the Australian Antarctic Division until it was retired in 2004, superseded by a modern high-speed satellite connectivity solution.
Installation
The installation includes a 7.3 m dish antenna mounted inside a 10m diameter aluminium frame geodesic radome to protect the satellite dish from the harsh weather conditions.[3] It was installed at:[4]
- Davis Station in March 1987,
- Mawson Station in January 1988,
- Casey Station in March 1988, and
- Macquarie Island Station in December 1988.
