Denmark | Aalborg University is investing 18 million DKK to construct Denmark’s largest satellite and spacecraft communications ground station [1]. The facilities will include a four-meter campus antenna, a six-meter external antenna, and a dedicated data control center [1]. The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to integrate this setup into its global tracking network managed from Germany [1].Simultaneously, the university is launching its multi-disciplinary Space Tech Center to drive research in satellite, robotic, and space communication technologies [1]. This project forms part of a broader 530 million DKK institutional infrastructure investment running through 2029 [1]. The ground station will support upcoming space operations, including receiving high-resolution data from the Danish Máni lunar mapping mission scheduled for launch in 2029 [1].
