JAPAN  (ISHIOKA):

Yebes Observatory developed a tri-band receiver for the Ishioka station in Japan from the Geospatial Information (GSI) in 2014. In 2015, the Ishioka VGOS radio telescope started operations with RAEGE Control software.

NORWAY  (Ny-ALESUND):

Yebes Observatory helps NMA (Norwegian Mapping Authority) putting in operation their Twin Telescope in Ny-Alesund (Svalbard achipelago). Currently, a triband receiver from RAEGE is operational at one of the radio telescopes since 2017, and the other radio telescope is equipped with a VGOS broad-band receiver developes in Yebes laboratories, too. Both radio telescopes are working with RAEGE control software.

Two VGOS broadband RAEGE receivers have been built at Yebes laboratory. One is already installed, as mentioned before, and the second one will be shipped to Yebes for an upgrade from single-ended LNAs to balanced configuration. After that, it will be installed in the second radio telescope and the tri-band will be returned to Yebes Observatory.

FINLAND  (METSÄHOVI):

One VGOS broad band RAEGE receiver was built at Yebes laboratory and suppor for its installation in the radio telescope was provided by IGN in 2019.

GERMANY  (WETTZELL):

The RAEGE Phase Cal system has been also installed in the Wettzell Twin Telescopes in 2018.

ITALY (MATERA):

Yebes Observatory was responsible for the desing, integration, construction and installation of the broad-band receiver for the Matera VGOS radio telescope in Italy, which depends on the Italian Space Agency (ASI). This receiver was finished in 2023 and will be installed in early 2024 with the support of RAEGE Yebes staff.

SOUTH AFRICA  (HARTEBEESTHOEK):

Yebes Observatory was responsible for the desing, integration, construction and installation of the broad-band receiver for the HartRAO VGOS radio telescope in South Africa, which depends on the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO). This receiver was finished in 2023, too and will be installed in February 2024 with the support of RAEGE Yebes staff.

THAILAND  (SONGKHLA):

Yebes Observatory was responsible for the desing, integration, construction and installation of the broad-band receiver for the Songkla VGOS radio telescope in Thailand, which depends on the National Astronomical Research Institute (NARIT). This receiver was finished along 2023 and shipped on December 2023.
