14 Ground segment In the ground segment Estonia has several <strong>companies</strong> with software or hardware products or technologies of interest to either the ground or space segment of almost any type of space mission. The best example is Vertex Estonia Vertex Estonia The primary activities of Vertex Estonia are related to antennas and radio telescopes for tele- Vertex Estonia communication and science in cooperation with GD SATCOM Technologies, and Vertex Antennentechnik GmbH. Up to present over 150 Satellite e Communication Antennas for Ground Stations have e been manufactured by Vertex Estonia and are workking in 28 countries over the world. Vertex Estonia a took part in the production of the 35M Deep Space e Radio Telescope, installed in Australia for the Euroopean Space Agency. Vertex Estonia manufactured d Reflector Backup Structure, Quadripod, Waveguide e Shrouds, locking devices and other items with a total al weight of 100 tons. Vertex Estonia is a trailblazer in n building new types of antennas and a leader in one e chosen market segment with its proprietary designs, s, which is the foundation of its aims for higher profitt-ability Contact: Vertex Estonia Ltd Forelli 10, 10621 Tallinn, ESTONIA Phone: +372 6390471 • Mobile: +372 5202602 • Fax: +372 6390490 Email: aleks.rulkov@vertexestonia.eu • www.vertexestonia.ee Komtronik Contact: C CEO Mr Max Anderson Email: E max@komtronik.ee Mobile: M +372 523 2815 www.astroshell.com w Komtronik was established in Estonia in 1999.

Estonian space science University of Tartu The University of Tartu (UT) is the oldest Estonian n university and historically famous for its inventions s and discoveries in astronomy science. The research h of Friedrich Struve, Johann Mädler and other disstinguished astronomers radically influenced the deevelopment of astronomy in the 19th century. UT is a university with a wide spectrum of scientific compee- tence. The Faculty of Science and Technology at UT T consists of the following institutes: Institute of Physsics, Institute of Chemistry, Institute of Technology, y, Estonian Marine Institute, Institute of Molecular and d Cell Biology, and the Institute of Ecology and Earth h Sciences. In the space sector, UT is involved in reesearch activities in the satellite communications area, a, and a “student satellite project” (www.space.ut.ee) e) has been initiated. UT has research groups working g on robotics, attmospherics and air moniitoring, city y planning based d on informa- a- tion from GPS, S, soft polymeric c transducers s (www.ims.ut.ee) e) and optical (IR) R) measurements. s. The areas of interest in deeveloping space e technology are the application of existing competences for the benefit of the space sector, new research areas in the field of space technology including scientific payload design, and development of new services based on space applications (including positioning and remote sensing).

Such a symbiosis of astronomers and atmospheric scientists proved to be a successful partner in the Soviet Union space programmes from the late 1960s to the early 1990s. Several models for space borne radiometers were designed and developed in TO at this time. TO enjoys a long tradition of studying galaxies and theoretically modelling the structure of the universe and its formation. It is Estonia’s main research centre for astronomy and atmospheric physics, with fundamental research focusing on physics of galaxies, stellar physics and remote sensing of the Earth’s atmosphere and ground surface.
