Design and manufacture of atmospheric radar systems

ATRAD has secured a contract for a Medium Frequency (MF) radar for The Institute for Atmospheric Physics at Kuehlungsborn in Germany. The project is in two phases with the first phase to be installed in November 2001.

The installation is at the Andoya rocket range at Andenes in Norway.

The second phase is due for installation in May 2002, to be fully operational for a rocket launch campaign for `sounding rockets' for the European Space Agency starting in the following month (June 2002).
