SATELLITE EARTH STATION.—A prefabricated section being lifted into place on the Post Office’s Satellite Earth Station at Warkworth, 70 miles north-east from Auckland. The sections form the backing structure for the giant dish antenna. The antenna is accurately designed to concentrate the outgoing signal in a narrow beam at high power and also provide maximum capture of signals from the International Telecommunications Satellite (Intelsat) 22,300 miles out in space.
