Telespazio has set up a network to control the seismic risk in Italy for
the Ministry of Civil Defense.
The Solfatara, which is a part of the network, has a main outpost and two
secondary outposts. The two secondary outposts, which can be seen
inside the crater near the "Bocca Grande" and on the bank to the east,
are fitted with solar panels and electronic equipment for the recording
of geo-chemical and seismic data. The data is transmitted to the main
outpost which transmits it to a stationary satellite using a 1.8 m. parabolic
antenna. The data is then transmitted to several research Agencies.
