Installation of the MAXI GNSS Station

A new GNSS reference station of the CyCLOPS Permanent Segment (PS) with the code name MAXI has been successfully installed. MAXI is located in Agia Marina Xyliatos village, and it is collocated with an Electronic Corner Reflector (ECR), opereting in C-Band. The monumentation of MAXI was constructed using a specifically designed stainless steel truss, attached to bedrock via stainless steel anchors and high-quality epoxy resin.
