Deployable Inflatable Satellite Antenna X-band and 1 Meter Variant
Abstract
This project will deliver a refined and field prototype 1 meter class variant of the inflatable antenna technology for determination of applicability in the field. Additionally, it will complete the initial design, and field a prototype of an X-band tracking kit for inflatable antenna systems. The payoff to the government will be a reduced volume and weight antenna for rapid deployment of 1 meter class Satellite Communications (SATCOM) capability, and the ability to augment currently fielded inflatable antenna systems with tracking components to enable operation with inclined orbit satellites.
