Welcome:
Welcome to Orbital Systems Ltd., manufacturer of Earth station antenna positioning pedestals and antenna systems for low and medium Earth orbit satellites. Our focus is on 3m systems and smaller for applications such as MODIS, NPP, NPOESS, MEO tracking, and numerous tactical applications. Our high performance systems are designed to reliably meet performance requirements year after year without expensive maintenance in extreme weather conditions. We deliver excellent value by combining techniques, materials and technologies learned from years of field experience in the military, communications, industrial controls, aerospace and satellite earth station industries.

We use the latest motor and gear technologies to provide accurate, long life, reliable positioning. Our systems use absolute position encoders to eliminate indexing and provide full range accuracy. We protect these systems with tightly sealed designs that use pressurized dry air and other dry air methods to eliminate condensing humidity and corrosion. All of our products are constructed mostly of aluminum and have finishes made of tough long life powder coating. Seal materials are made of Teflon and silicone to stand up to harsh sunlight and ozone.

Our systems are designed to be easy to install, and if maintenance should be required, to permit the easy replacement of most system components in the field and in all but the most unusual case without major disassembly.

Orbital Systems does mechanical design using a state of the art 3D CAD system. We design, test fit and articulate system components before they are manufactured to ensure proper fit and function. Parts are fabricated by processing the 3D CAD models with CAM software to drive our CNC vertical machining center. Our machining facility also includes mills, lathes, and aluminum welding equipment. We currently make over 85% of our own metal parts in house to control quality.

Our experience, engineering, and machining capabilities all contribute to the best price / performance available in the industry today.
