Space Innovation: EOSOL Aerospace and ESA collaborate on compact antennas
The EOSOL Aerospace unit is working with the European Space Agency (ESA) through its OSIP innovation program on an innovative project to develop more compact antenna components for future satellite communications systems.
Our engineering team is working to include a novel and compact "mode extractor" in ground station antennas, optimizing the accuracy of satellite communications. The objective is to drastically reduce the size of the mode extractor (compared to current systems) based on space technology and advanced manufacturing techniques. This optimization will enable more compact feeds to be integrated into new generations of ground antennas, resulting in increased efficiency and reduced production costs.
We are proud to be part of ESA's OSIP program, which fosters collaboration between companies and organizations to carry out pioneering research in the space field. We are convinced that these initiatives will accelerate the progress of our industry and bring us closer to a future where satellite communications are more efficient and accessible to all.
