CALIAN TO SUPPLY NASA WITH THIRD HIGH-PERFORMANCE ANTENNA



Antenna System To Replace Aging Infrastructure Used To Measure Earth's Geometric
Shape and Orientation in Space

Calian Group Ltd., a diverse products and services company providing innovative
advanced technologies in communications, learning, cybersecurity and healthcare,
is pleased to announce that NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has once again
entrusted Calian to provide a third high-performance antenna for NASA's Very
Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Global Observing System (VGOS).

This 12m high-performance Calian antenna will be used to support the NASA Space
Geodesy Project that works to maintain our global geodetic infrastructure of
several networks and individual ground stations, including the NASA VGOS network
of antennas. VLBI is one of the space geodetic techniques used in geodesy, the
science of accurately measuring and understanding the Earth's geometric shape,
orientation in space, and gravity field, as well as the changes of these
properties over time.

NASA's VGOS program demands the highest quality precision VLBI antennas. Calian
is proud of our sustained technical antenna advancements to meet NASA's exacting
requirements. Calian antennas' ultra-strong design minimizes thermal, wind and
gravity load distortion, providing exceptional performance in all frequency
bands. They also allow for state-of-the-art tracking, pointing accuracy and
reference point stability. These features are the Calian standard foundation for
all antenna lines supporting the space, commercial and defence industries.

"We are very pleased about our continued relationship with NASA," says Mohamed
Saad, President of InterTronic, a Calian Company. "The InterTronic and NASA-VLBI
teams have collaborated in developing an innovative capability that is vital to
the VGOS network for almost a decade now."

Data from the VLBI antennas will be used by NASA to determine the antenna
locations on the Earth, the celestial positions in the sky and Earth's
orientation in space. The antenna networks can uncover critical information not
only about space, but also about our Earth. The VLBI antennas can be used to
measure the Earth's orientation in space, from which geoscientists then study
such phenomena as our atmosphere, ocean tides and currents, and the elastic
response of the Earth.

"The team has never backed away from a challenge and our tenacity is a key
element in our success," says Patrick Thera, President of Advanced Technologies,
Calian. "The world-class technical and production capabilities of InterTronic
used to meet the exacting requirements at NASA will serve us well in our other
markets, including our cost-effective commercial antenna solutions."

Calian Acquisition of InterTronic
Calian acquired InterTronic, a leading high-performance antenna solutions
provider, in 2021. The state-of-the-art, high-precision antenna solutions
include high-accuracy, high-speed motion systems used by military, scientific
and commercial customers. Applications of InterTronic, a Calian company, include
radio astronomy, radar, electronic warfare, deep space and satellite
communications solutions.

About Calian
We keep the world moving forward. Calian helps people communicate, innovate,
learn, stay safe and lead healthy lives with confidence. Every day, our
employees live our values of customer-centricity, integrity, innovation and
teamwork to engineer reliable solutions that solve complex problems. That's
