| UVa Ground Station | |
Our ground station is growing up at a moderate but constant pace. However, as with a tractor plowing a field, we intend to do a solid work that depends on the volunteers and the students. We are satisfied with our present achievements, but we know there is still a long way and lots of things to learn and to teach. Behind the scenes there is a hard work, but we are happy to show these pictures and videos with the obtained results.
We are testing this service.

Video with the crane operations to raise the tower to the top of the Telecommunications School of the University of Valladolid.
Launch day at the ground station room. First Vega flight with the Xatcobeo cubesat. Mission debriefing to the students and media.
After testing the hardware, it was time to put it in order. The equipment is put in a rack. Nice and simple front, but a lot of wiring in the back: a mess that will be ordered during these works.
