About
This C-band antenna is specifically designed for spacecraft applications, with the primary purpose of forming a required servicing area and facilitating signal reception within its operating frequency band. It was released in 2012 and boasts a guaranteed service life of 15 years. The antenna features reflectors with aperture diameters of either 1000 mm or 1600 mm. The rms deviation of the reflecting surface profile, accounting for utilization factors, does not exceed 0.5 mm. The reflector’s reflecting surface is contoured. The mass of the reflector assembly varies by size: 4.7 kg for the 1000 mm aperture and 8.4 kg for the 1600 mm aperture. The product has a brief history of flight qualification, having undergone flight operation unconditionally since the launch of the spacecraft.
