Abstract
An elegant P-band ground station antenna for Galileosat application has been designed, manufactured, and has undergone acceptance testing as reported in. This paper summarizes the initial antenna design considerations, acceptance testing results and reports on the preliminary results of the in-orbit tests performed using this antenna and the MSG-2 satellite, which has onboard a SAR transponder.
