📡 🚀 We're honoured to receive this Certificate of Recognition from NASA for our contribution to the Artemis II mission. (thread)
What did Artemis II look like from an RF Doppler perspective? 📡〰️🚀🌖 (thread) In January, we were selected by NASA to support tracking of the Artemis II mission using our ground station infrastructure.
Good acquisition of first RF signals from Artemis-II! 📡 〰️ 🚀🛰️🌖 (thread) 📷 The image shows Orion's s-band downlink signal as received by one of our tracking stations in Europe early this morning. It shows the moment when Orion transitioned from NASA's Near Space Network to the Deep Space Network. 📡🤝📡
We're excited to share that we have been selected by NASA to support tracking of the #ArtemisII Orion spacecraft on its historic mission to the Moon! 📡〰️🌘🚀 This marks the first crewed return to lunar space since Apollo 17 in 1972. (1/3)
NASA Selects Participants to Track Artemis II Mission - NASA
NASA has selected 34 global volunteers to track the Orion spacecraft during the crewed Artemis II mission’s journey around the Moon.

🎄Von Storch Engineering wishes you Happy Holidays and a great start into 2026! Thanks to our customers, partners, and followers for a fantastic 2025 — we’re grateful for your trust, support and engagement. To an exciting 2026 with plenty of SNR and accurate tracking! 📡〰️🛰️🚀✈️ #groundstation #smallsat
First RF downlink signals acquired from a busy #SpaceX #Transporter15 launch today! 🛰🛰🛰〰📡 (thread) On board of this mission today were 140 payloads, of which 110 spacecraft were deployed this evening on Orbit 1 & 2. This is certainly one of the most RF-busy launches we have tracked so far! 📷
First signals in from #SpaceX's #Bandwagon4 launch today! 🛰️🛰️〰️📡 While the popular Transporter rideshare missions provide frequent access to polar orbits, the Bandwagon missions provide access to lower-inclination orbits of ~45 degrees. 🌍
Today we are proud to have supported the return of live HAM-TV video from the ESA Columbus module on board the International Space Station during an ARISS school contact in the UK. 📡🚀👨🚀
Here comes #SpaceX #Transporter14! Good first signals received on the first orbits after launch 📡 〰️ 🛰️ 🛰️ 🚀 We are tracking satellites on S-Band, UHF & VHF bands on this mission. (thread)
Next week we are attending Smallsat Europe 2025 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands! If you are attending and would like to learn more about our services, let us know - We will be happy to meet you there! 📡 〰️ 🛰️ 🚀 ✈️ #smallsateurope #smallsateurope2025 #groundstation #smallsat
Happy to share that we have installed two new sensor stations in Germany and The Netherlands! 📡〰️🛰️〰️📡 These stations will complement our existing sensor & tracking ground stations and further improve our services, especially in object detection, tracking & identification. (1/2)
Good signals received from #SpaceX #Bandwagon3 by our tracking station on the early orbits after launch today 📡 〰️ 🛰️ (1/3) Are you a satellite operator/launch service provider and interested in (dedicated) receiving, tracking or object identification support for a future or ongoing mission?
(1/3) Another month, another rideshare mission! - Good first signals received from #SpaceX #Transporter13 📡〰️🛰️🛰️🛰️ The images below show the s-band and UHF downlink spectrum as received by our tracking station on Orbit 2 after launch today. A number of spacecraft downlinks can already be seen active.
It's been 14 days since the launch of #SpaceX #Transporter12! 🚀🛰 (thread) In the weeks following a launch it can be a difficult task for satellite operators to keep track of a satellite's position without specialized tracking support.
Good acquisition of signals from #SpaceX #Transporter12! 📡〰️🚀🛰️ (thread) The image below shows a busy s-band downlink spectrum as received by our tracking station on Orbit 2 after launch today. Many spacecraft downlinks can be seen active already.
T-1 hour until the launch of #SpaceX #Transporter12 - we are ready to support! 📡🛰️🛰️🛰️ (thread) Did you know that for ride-share missions like this we process over 112 MHz of RF bandwidth?
