Arctic station

A self-powered station on the ice: a microgrid, a low-orbit satellite terminal, a weather station, a GNSS monument and an edge node that holds data through the polar night.

Tour transcript

  1. A station on the ice, self-powered and connected only by satellite.
  2. The low-orbit terminal is the only backhaul.
  3. The microgrid carries the station through the polar night.
  4. A geodetic monument measures ice and crustal motion.

A flat-panel terminal to a low-orbit constellation: the station’s only backhaul. (3GPP NTN, ITU-R S.1428)
PV modules
Solar in summer, storage and a generator through the polar night; the edge budgets every watt. (IEC 62548)
Deep-drilled braced monument
A geodetic monument for ice and crustal motion, and the station’s time. (IGS site guidelines, RINEX 4)
