The primary function of the SATAN tracking antenna was to receive radio signals in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) range of 136 to 137 megahertz from orbiting unmanned spacecraft.

In service from 1964 until 1979 the SATAN Antenna supported the tracking of over sixty weather or scientific satellites.

These satellites resulted in our present understanding of weather, earth resources, planetary and interplanetary phenomena.
