Redu Station is an ESTRACK radio antenna station for communication with spacecraft. The station is located in Wallonia, about one kilometer away from the village of Redu, Belgium, where it has been tracking satellites since 1968.^[1] The ground terminals provide tracking capabilities in C band, L-band, S-band, K_u band, and K_a band as well as provide in-orbit tests of telecommunication satellites.^[1]

Redu Station was recognized and fully integrated as an ESA Centre in 2009.^[2]
