I would be very excited to work at such facility. Btw, as high tech as the facility is, it's amazing to see her using traditional paper to do the checklist. I would imagine they'd use a tablet 😁

How powerful is the transmission?

Cool !

My dad spent time as an engineer during the mid to late 60s ,there were 2 or 3 dishes, I went there as a kid with my dad for the day and it was like a science fiction movie ,his mates even printed my name out on the computer ticker tape machine ,great to see this 😊

I'm working on a refurbishment project of a 12.8m antenna formerly used as a NATO ground station. We haven't had to replace any nuts and bolts, but have had a few structural repairs to do. The main task is replacing the motors, and putting in our own modern motion-control system and position sensors.

Working on restoration of a 12.8m dish mostly for radio astronomy but also for lunar space missions in the future.

Nice! I'm currently involved in a project to restore a former-NATO ground-station antenna -- only 12.8m, but similar in some ways to GHY-3. Some day, I hope to visit Goonhilly.

I would to work in this ground station...i have master degree in satellite communications.

Came here as a child really enjoyed visiting the site found it fascinating so good that it has been reopened 🎉

You can pick oranges and avocadoes from your new earth station in Heritage Valley! Also, we had black bears, cougars, coyotes, foxes etc etc, visiting the property. But beware of the occasional diamond back! 😎

Cute girl ❤

Where is Goonhilly? Is is it near Wessex?

Mst🔥

How accurately can you determine the speed of a craft & how exactly? (Can you show the math?) Thanks 😊

Thank you...very interesting, would've been nice to hear more tecky stuff, but still, didn't know about Goonhilly until now...Cheers...;)

The tacky music obscures the conversation. Is it necessary?

What type of OS are you running your workstations on? Windows or Linux? Also do you use a custom monitoring/tracking Software or a commercial satellite tracking program? Thx

1:25 its all SpaceX Starlink sats.

Driven past at least twice on holidays - would love to bring the kid to see something "just a little larger" than a Sky dish.

Goonhilly - off far to the Southwest for the Telstar experiment in 1962, on bed rock for the heavy structures, rural area meant it's electrically quiet without tall structures in the geostationary arc, and on the site of the old Dry Tree Chain home station from WW2 which meant the land was cheap. Mainly I was told, it was because the land was cheap 🙂.

Great to see some of the dishes keeping their old names ! I was lucky enough to visit a few times when you could and it was absolutely fantastic for us geeky radio hams 😁

Interesting the guide is allowed to wear the safety helmet with the strap loose instead of secured. During a fall with multiple impacts that helmet might easily come off. Exposing the unprotected skull to a subsequent impact.

Great video 🔭

Excellent tour. Thank you.

Love these short insights into Goonhilly, keep them coming! :)

Very interesting! I have some questions related to scheduling: Each antenna is obviously only pointing in one direction at a time. What if a spacecraft sends a signal at a time when no dish is pointing at it? Also, how often do you move each antenna? How long does it take to download or upload each communication to a spacecraft? Thanks!

Does this look like your dream job?? Head to www.goonhilly.org/careers to find out more about our job openings and to apply! 📡

I didn't know that there are 'customers' other than government agencies like NASA that would send spacecraft into deep space. Could you elaborate more on the type of customers you have, and what type of spacecraft and missions that they have?

this is so dang cool. only 285 subscribers 🥲

PLEASE KILL THE FOREGROUND MUSIC. Between it, the wind, and the narrator's accent, it is VERY difficult for this old guy to understand parts of this

Very interesting.

Can they pickup the Playboy channel with it?

aquisition of signal, goonhilly

Get a PHD they say. This is actualy work compare to Twitter one. lol

very nice site...

Are there thoughts of increasing the size of the dish - as in adding additional external side reflectors? Is a 32 m dish large enough or (as always) is larger better? Is the equipment operated at 240 v 2 phase or are you using 3 phase 600v ? Do you work with SETI during off-times?

What frequencies can the dish operate at? What accuracy is the dish designed at? Is the dish parabolic or hyperbolic? What is the sensitivity in receiving mode? Please and thank you.

Lots of nice tech there - reminds me CuriousMarc's trip to an Apollo era satellite dish.

The green clock shows UTC, why then use the GMT time zone on the ground track map?

Fascinating! Can the antenna send signals to Uranus?

. the latest electronics .. and she is using paper & pencil clip board.. ???

Would have been good to hear the output power of the HPAs and the corresponding ERP from the dish on the different bands.

Forgot to ask - how large is the dish? Thank you.

What frequencies (what bands) are you able to receive? Thanks, very interesting.

Do these antennas communicate with the voyager probes too?

The term " customers " referring to the end users kind of surprise me. Of course it makes perfect sense, I just never thought of it that way. A very cool video. Thanks!

Say "Hi" ! to Aliens 👽😄🖐

A wind cover for the microphone would really help for outdoor interviews.

whats with the bloody irritiating music, its such an excellent opputnity to hear from the people that work there, why ruin it with music - ok some intro/exit music, but constant crappy music, its very annoying.
