Goonhilly, Hawaii, but I can't figure out BIK. They're NASA and ESA tracking stations: https://www.eoportal.org/other-space-activities/estrack, https://www.indiatoday.in/science/chandrayaan-3/story/how-is...


It's a station from DLR in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan: https://www.dlr.de/eoc/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-5287/102...



I'm not very familiar with this source [0], but it states "ESA was providing support to the Chandrayaan-3 mission from three of its ground stations located in Kourou (French Guiana), Goonhilly (United Kingdom), and New Norcia (Western Australia)." Although BIK doesn't obviously map to any of those.

If the other 2 are NASA and ESA the other BIK is probably a Russian one.


Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan


Nice catch. It's definitely Baikonur.


Thanks :)


Likely Biak (Indonesia), from https://www.spacetechasia.com/isro-visits-indonesias-space-a...

“ISRO and LAPAN have had a long history of collaboration, with ISRO owning a ground station on the Indonesian island of Biak, which has supported many of India’s launches.”


Fwiw the esa time is the same as Amsterdam Time (cest, get +2)
