Large Deployable Reflector Ready for Testing
Thanks to the dedicated work of partners (HPS, vH&S, INEGI, FHP, RUAG and TICRA amongst other) and its internal team, Large Space Structures GmbH celebrates today a major milestone achievement: the completion of the Design, Analysis, Manufacturing, Assembly and Integration of a X-band Large Deployable Reflector (LDR). Radiofrequency tests to
Successful RF Testing of Origami CubeSat Antenna
A deployable CubeSat antenna using origami techniques was tested at Thales Alenia Space facilities in Toulouse, France. Operating at 30 GHz (Ka-band), the 41dB antenna is exceptionally small and light, weighting only 600 g and folding into a cylinder of 100 mm diameter and 130 mm in height, while preserving
Mesh reflector for shaped radio beams
This news posting is written by esa.int This prototype 2.6-m diameter metal-mesh antenna reflector represents a big step forward for the European space sector: versions can be manufactured to reproduce any surface pattern that antenna designers wish, something that was previously possible only with traditional solid antennas. “This is really a
New ESA Project DRAC
LSS has been awarded the project DRAC (Deployable Reflector Antenna for CubeSat). The objective of the project is to develop and demonstrate 1m to 3m diameter deployable reflector antennas for CubeSat applications. Large Space Structures GmbH (LSS) is a company based near Munich, Germany, founded in 2012 as a spin-off
LSS introduces OriFlex® technology for reflector folding
OriFlex® (origami folding of flexible reflective surface FlexRS®) is a proprietary technology of Large Space Structures GmbH for deployable reflectors based on our FlexRS® family of materials. It is designed for satellites applications, where volume is an expensive ressources and a large antenna reflector could not be launched, or would
