The received data will be stored in a server located at the ACCIMT and will be shared with the public sector organizations who use satellite data for national development. The ACCIMT is in the process of developing infrastructure to receive and distribute earth observation data and a ten acre site for the proposed National Space Hub is identified in the Megapolis Master Plan for Western Province.The proposed land for Satellite Ground Station at Mahenwatta in Pitipana, HomagamaThe 10 Acre land has been allocated for the proposed Satellite Ground Station of Arthur C Clarke Institute for Modern Technologies (ACCIMT) to receive Earth observation satellite data at geographical location 6°49′ 38.48″N, 80° 2′ 8.20″E under the Megapolis project of the Government of Sri Lanka and is shown in the Google Earth image bellow. This land is situated in close proximity to the Sri Lanka Institute of Nano Technologies (SLINTEC) and the newly erecting NSBM (National School of Business Management) campus. The land has 4m wide access road with provision for future road widening and 3 phase electricity from National Grid. There is Sri Lanka Telecom premises nearby and will be a potential to have a high speed fiber link in the near future.At present the proposed site satisfies the 5 Degree elevation clearance above the local horizon, a requirement to have a maximum time span for data reception during a satellite passing by. In order to prevent violating this condition from putting up constructions in the future maximum heights of the constructions around the site is proposed.  The following is the proposed heights of the buildings around the site.Distance from the centre of the site(m)     Maximum height of the construction(m)250     13 (3 Story building)500     38 (9 Story building)750     60 (15 Story building)1000     80 (20 Story building)<img src="http://www.accimt.ac.lk/images/space_tech_center/MahenwattainPitipanahub_01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />- <a href="http://www.accimt.ac.lk/SpaceTechCentre/index.php/national-space-hub/" target="_blank">http://www.accimt.ac.lk/SpaceTechCentre/index.php/national-space-hub/</a></blockquote>
