About
FreeFall Aerospace’s Inflatable Antenna System is the world’s lightest and most compact deployable high-gain antenna, using an ultra-lightweight membrane reflector that packages into a very small volume and inflates on-orbit via flight-proven, low-risk control systems. The spherical reflector geometry provides maximum field of view and efficient beam steering, dramatically reducing mass, power, operational complexity and cost. It targets defense, communications, and deep-space science and exploration missions.
