About
NeuSAR is MMA Space’s next-generation Deployable High-Gain Reflectarray (DaHGR) antenna, integrated onto a 160 kg small satellite carrying a fully polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar payload. The lightweight, flexible membrane reflectarray unfolds on orbit to form a large radar aperture from a compact stowed volume. Because SAR operates independently of visible light and can penetrate cloud cover, rainfall, and atmospheric haze, NeuSAR-equipped satellites deliver consistent day-and-night, all-weather imaging capability for Earth observation and surveillance missions.
