Sentosa Satellite Earth Station
The Sentosa Satellite Earth Station (Chinese: 圣淘沙卫星地面站; Malay: Stesen Satelit Bumi Sentosa) is Singapore's first satellite Earth station, located on Sentosa Island. It was opened on 23 October 1971 by then-president Benjamin Sheares. The second antenna was built two years later, in 1972, as the amount of traffic grew. This station is managed and owned by Singtel.
