About
This product is a reflector component specifically designed for integration into a Ku-band multiple-beam antenna system. It is intended for use in space, as evidenced by its flight operation history since spacecraft launch. The assembly consists of three reflectors mounted on a boom. Each reflector has an aperture diameter of 1300 mm, and the rms deviation of the reflecting surface profile, considering utilization factors, does not exceed 0.3 mm. The reflecting surface is coated with a special metal coating (metal-radio reflective coating-3) to enhance its reflectivity coefficient. The boom itself has overall dimensions of 2900×2030 mm, and the entire reflector assembly has a mass of 35 kg. The product was released in 2012 and boasts a guaranteed service life of 15 years. Estimated production and delivery time is 12 months.
