PL Observatory Stations are complete systems composed by computerised telescopes, cameras, imaging accessories and domes designed to be automated and remotely controlled. PL Observatory Stations are designed for several applications: Remote Satellite Imaging, Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST), Laser Communication, Scientific research & education, Astrophotography, Solar Activity Monitoring, Photometry, Spectroscopy and more.

PL Observatory Stations are designed to cater to a wide range of astronomical and space applications and are available in various models to suit different needs and budgets. They can accommodate various telescope dimensions, specifications and configurations, whether you need a compact setup for a single telescope or a larger structure for multiple instruments, based on the application you want to accomplish. By offering a range of customisable options, we ensure that our PL Observatory Stations meet the diverse needs of astronomers, researchers, institutions and businesses. Our goal is to provide a solution that is perfectly aligned with your goals, technical requirements, and budgetary constraints.

WE EMPOWER RESEARCH AND THE SPACE ECONOMY WITH OUR INNOVATIVE AND AFFORDABLE OPTICAL GROUND STATIONS FOR SPACE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS, REMOTE SATELLITE IMAGING AND BEYOND. 

Design and Technology: PL Observatory Stations are designed with precision engineering to operate also under difficult environmental conditions, ensuring the right protection for high-value equipment. Featuring advanced mechanics and remote control technology, PL Observatory Stations are provided with robust domes, providing resilience against harsh climates, including high/low temperatures and high wind speeds. Our domes can be equipped also with automated safety features for emergency response to power loss or bad weather events.

Innovation: we integrate into our PL Observatory Stations our state-of-the-art technology, including EAGLE control computer, ESATTO and SESTO SENSO focusing solutions, ECCO environmental module, GIOTTO flat field generator and ALTO telescope cover motor, everything remotely controlled through our PLAY software. And you’re free to add third party Windows software and third party devices through the ASCOM platform, so you can independently personalise your PLL Observatory Station based on your particular application.

Turn-Key Solutions: we offer complete turn-key solutions, from initial design and manufacturing to installation and user training. Each PL Observatory Stations is fully assembled and tested in our headquarters in Italy before shipping. Our comprehensive service includes consultation, planning, worldwide whipping, installation service and integration of all necessary components, such as telescopes, sensors, and communication equipment.
