LUNAR COMMUNICATIONS

Moon exploration is one of the objectives of ESA and other agencies such as NASA or JAXA for this decade. EOSOL is committed with technology development for new challenges as this one. For this reason, the team has been involved in last years in different initiatives for needed antenna technology development for the exploration of our natural satellite. 

In collaboration with other European entities, EOSOL is currently working under an ESA project in the development of a set of antennas to enable wireless communications in lunar caves and cavities. This is a great challenge due to the harsh conditions in the lunar environment

The objective of this project, on which we are actively working, is to develop compact and lightweight antennas capable of operating inside lunar caves at Wi-Fi frequencies (2.4 or 5 GHz). However, EOSOL also has experience developing other types of antennas such as reflectors and patches for direct to earth communication and other applications.
