The earth station consists of more than 50 parabolic antennas, including two 32-meter diameter A-type antennas and about 25 others, each measuring more than 9.3 meters. The earth station is thus one of the largest satellite communications systems in the world. It was built by the Deutsche Bundespost and is currently operated by the US company Intelsat.
