Ibadan, 28 October 2024. – Azercosmos and Leaf Space have signed an agreement which has resulted in the successful installation of a 3.7-meter S/X band antenna at the Baku teleport of the Main Ground Satellite Control Center of Azercosmos.

This modern antenna system provides significant capabilities for processing and transmitting critical data collected from various satellites, facilitating control between satellite networks and monitoring devices in space.

The multifunctional teleport of Azercosmos offers a wide range of services and solutions to customers from different countries, including VNO, VSAT, data and communication services. Furthermore, the geographical location of the Baku teleport enables the provision of services to both new and regular customers in a flexible manner, both operationally and commercially, while maintaining stability according to necessary standards.

For Azercosmos, this antenna system marks the second successful infrastructure project in which Leaf Space has invested. In 2022, the Italian Ground Station-as-a-Service provider installed another 3.7-meter S/X band terrestrial antenna at the Baku teleport. Together, these antennas allow Leaf Space to receive information from satellites passing over Azerbaijan.

Leaf Space operates a fully owned, globally distributed network of ground stations, empowering satellite operators to communicate with their spacecraft in the simplest and most flexible way. Additionally, Leaf Space enables TT&C (Telemetry, Tracking, and Command) and payload data transmissions via an easy-to-use interface, a proprietary autonomous scheduling software, and its network’s global coverage.

The Italian Company recently reinforced its senior leadership team towards positioning itself for further growth, appointing Cristina Zanchi and Gian Luca Ottino as its new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer respectively. In September 2024, the Company also recorded over 15,000 tracked passes of satellites in orbit during a single calendar month, a new high for the firm.
