TELEMETRY GROUND SOLUTIONSSPARTE 500 series antenna, commonly mounted with a
5.5m reflector, is a field and time proven product delivered
to customers for mission-critical applications where thetelemetry reception is at stake.

LaunchVehicleTelemetry

Wherever telemetry tracking and reception matters, Safran
Data Systems SPARTE 500 series antennas make thedifference: high performance, in-the-field upgrade-ability
to C-band support, skid or trailer–mounted mobility,and even 3-axis shipborne versions.

MissileTesting

Widely used across world test ranges, the SPARTE 500 seriesantennas meet the most demanding flight test profiles.
Its lean design and ease of operations make it a perfectmatch for any ground test range, as a complement
to smaller range trackers.
