On November 26th, at 23:17 UTC, SGSLR at GGAO acquired and tracked its first satellite. This represents a significant milestone towards the deployment of the first operational SGSLR station in late 2025, located in Ny-Ålesund, Norway. The satellite tracked was STARLETTE, a geodetic ball 24 centimeters in diameter, in an eccentric orbit at 812-1114 km. SGSLR prepares to track simultaneously with MOBLAS 7 during co-location comparisons, as the station exits its integration and test phase early in the new year.
