  • ESA's New Cebreros Station Ready to Support Venus Express
    ESAE ’s New Cebre ere oso S b r N s A r e w C StationS Ready to t a t i o n R e a d y t SupporS t Venuse u nV p u p s o r Express Cebreros Station Manfred Warhaut, Rolf Martin & Valeriano Claros ESA Directorate of Operations and Infrastructure, ESOC, Darmstadt, Germany SA’s new deep-space radio antenna at Cebreros (near Avila) in Spain was Eofficially inaugurated on 28 September. The new 35 metre antenna is the Agency’s second facility devoted to communications with spacecraft on interplanetary missions or in very distant orbits; the first is at New Norcia in Western Australia. Cebreros’s first task is the tracking of ESA’s Venus Express spacecraft, launched on 9 November. Introduction The construction of ESA's deep-space antenna at Cebreros was completed in record time. The site-selection process began in April 2002, the procurement activities began in February 2003, and the building work began in Spring 2004 on the site of a former NASA ground station. After successful assembly of the antenna structure in November 2004 and the almost flawless acceptance testing of the various infrastructure elements and the radio- frequency components, the new antenna was completed in August 2005, which provided just sufficient time for final testing before being used for the first time to support Venus Express. esa bulletin 124 - november 2005 39 Infrastructure Technical Specifications of the Cebreros Antenna REFLECTOR DISH Diameter: 35 metres Depth: 8 metres Surface contour: shaped parabola Number of panels: 304 on 7 rings Surface accuracy: 0.3 mm rms Weight: 100 tons ANTENNA PEDESTAL Height: 40 metres Weight movable part: 500 tons Total weight: 620 tons OPERATING ENVIRONMENT The novel Cebreros antenna feed concept Temperature: -20°C to + 50°C Relative humidity: 0 – 100% including condensation Wind: up to 50 km/h constant, gusting to 70 km/h Rain: up to 35 mm/h Solar heat: up to 1200 W/m2 MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE Slew range: Azimuth 0 to 540 deg Elevation 0 to 90 deg Slew rate: Both axes 1.0 deg/s max.

  • Implementing Ground Station Tracking in the Thermal Analysis of a Mechanically-Steerable Antenna for LEO Data Downlink Applications
    48th International Conference on Environmental Systems ICES-2018-46 8-12 July 2018, Albuquerque, New Mexico Implementing Ground Station Tracking in the Thermal Analysis of a Mechanically-Steerable Antenna for LEO Data Downlink Applications C. M.Gómez-Hernández1, R. Hildre2 M. Carlqvist3, M. M.Silvestri4 1,4 ATG-Europe B.V., 2201 DK Noordwijk, The Netherlands 2,3Kongsberg Space Systems, P.O.Box 1003 NO-3601, Kongsberg, Norway The calculation of orbital heat fluxes and radiative exchange factors is an essential part of the thermal analysis of spaceborne instrumentation. For instruments which feature kinematic motion, such as robotic arms and mechanically-steerable antennae, there is an additional complexity in this calculation: there are variations in fluxes and radiative exchange factors due to the instrument’s kinematic motion which occur “on top” of the standard flux variations due to orbital motion alone. The specific kinematic motion associated to the tracking of a ground station by a mechanically-steerable antenna onboard a LEO satellite is well-known and recurrent to many missions, however it is not available as a default pointing law in the ESATAN-TMS thermal analysis software suite. This paper presents a set of user-defined FORTRAN-based algorithms which have been developed to implement the required tracking functionality in ESATAN-TMS. The algorithms are simple yet sufficiently accurate for thermal analysis. Algorithm logic, validation approach, and results of in-orbit calculations using the algorithms are presented in the context of the thermal analysis of the Kongsberg K-band Antenna, a mechanically-steerable antenna developed by Kongsberg Space/ATG/ESA and baselined to fly onboard MetOp-SG satellites A and B.

  • Tourist Renewal As a Strategy to Improve the Competitiveness of an Urban Tourist Space: a Case Study in Maspalomas-Costa Canaria
    sustainability Article Tourist Renewal as a Strategy to Improve the Competitiveness of an Urban Tourist Space: A Case Study in Maspalomas-Costa Canaria José M. Sanabria Díaz 1,* , Teresa Aguiar Quintana 2 and Yazmina Araujo Cabrera 2,* 1 Department of Public Law, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain 2 Department of Tourism, Economy and Management, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (J.M.S.D.); [email protected] (Y.A.C.) Received: 4 September 2020; Accepted: 11 October 2020; Published: 22 October 2020 Abstract: The reclassification of accommodation for tourism, understood as the change of tourist category or classification in terms of accommodation activity, is put forward as one of the ways to increase competitiveness in any establishment. So, recent regulation on planning, renovation and modernization of Tourism in Canary Islands established the need to increase the classification of the accommodation offering by restoring degraded tourist areas and renovating different public and private infrastructures. Using a case study methodology in this paper, the characteristics of the rehabilitation process undertaken in different touristic establishments of the coast of Gran Canaria, are analyzed, more specifically in Maspalomas-Costa Canaria destination. Comparative analysis of these cases presenting it as a rehabilitation model that allowed it to re-join the market, benefiting from the urban incentives policies through the upgrading strategy, increasing the quality and quantity of the services offered. Keywords: tourism facilities; renovation; competitiveness; urban planning; density; obsolescence 1.

  • The Fataga Valley Several Houses and Farms, Growing a Variety of Fruit and Vegetables, Before Going Into the Low Mountains for Some Excellent Views of the Area
    I have produced 2 short walks around the village of Fataga, one a 1 hour 45 minute circular walk to the south, the other a two hour circular walk Don’t Leave Gran Canaria to the north. Both walks are presented as a 4 page booklet. These are available from Henrietta, at her Jewellery Workshop or Art Boutique Fataga Without Seeing the DWG map of Gran Canaria is also available from these shops. The South Circle : Approx 1 hr 45 - Ascent and Descent Approx 150 metres - Grade 2.5. This walk takes you around the village heading south, passing The Fataga Valley several houses and farms, growing a variety of fruit and vegetables, before going into the low mountains for some excellent views of the area. You then return back to the village by a different route. The North Circle : Approx 2 hr 00 - Ascent and Descent Approx 200 metres - Grade 3. This walk leaves the village on a path heading north, it then descends into the barranco before ascending to Molino de Agua. You then ascend to a couple of great viewing points, before returning to the village of Fataga. In my two walking guides “Don’t leave Gran Canaria without seeing it” I have split Gran Canaria into 5 zones for walking, there are only a few good walks in the Fataga area but there are many excellent walks in the nearby San Bartolome and Santa Lucia areas, as well as the rest of the island. 1:- Fataga to Arteara on the signposted S 54 1 hr 45 Grade 2 2:- San Bartolome to Fataga (Vol 1) 2 hr 45 Grade 3 3:- San Bartolome Short Circle (Vol 1) 2 hr 45 Grade 3 4:- San Bartolome to Santa Lucia via Rosiana (Vol 1) 2 hr 45 Grade 4 5:- Santa Lucia Lower Circle via Ansite (Vol 1) 3 hr 30 Grade 5 6:- San Bartolome Triangle via Cruz Grande (Vol 2) 4 hr 30 Grade 6 7:- San Bart Circle via Fataga and Santa Lucia (Vol 2) 6 hr 00 Grade 7 8:- Santa Lucia Longer Circle via Guayadeque (Vol 2) 6 hr 30 Grade 8 9:- Fataga to Amurga, and onto the Degollada de las Yeguas.

San Bartolomé de Tirajana is the largest municipality on the island, and the town has transformed from an inhospitable landscape into one of Europe’s most unique tourist destinations, while still managing to maintain its authentic roots. Basking in the constant sunshine, pleasant temperatures, wonderful beaches and the beauty of its mountain peaks is the biggest tourist destination on the island: Maspalomas Costa Canaria. This makes Maspalomas a must-visit spot on Gran Canaria. Here you will find relaxation, sport, adventure, culture and gastronomy, all alongside the sea and the mountains. Unforgettable experiences surrounded by incomparable landscapes in a peaceful, socially stable environment. 5 6 GEOGRAPHY The shape of the island is round with a domed appearance, and it has a dense network of ravines running through it, which descend from the mountain peaks down to the coast, creating a very rugged terrain. This terrain, with its unique features, is conducive to the existence of a small landscape scale and micro-climate scale, separated by just a few kilometres. Landscapes range from smooth sand dunes to jagged mountain cliffs, and from the intense blue sea to bright green pine forests.
