About
The Space Micro μKaTX-300™ is a high-reliability Ka-Band transmitter providing high data rate downlink capability up to 4 Gbps using 32QAM modulation. The μKaTX-300 has been in continuous operation aboard NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) for over five years, demonstrating exceptional on-orbit reliability. The transmitter is frequency agile and on-orbit configurable, allowing operators to adjust frequency and modulation parameters in real time without hardware changes. Designed for high-reliability space applications, it is qualified for LEO and deep-space missions. Now listed under Voyager Technologies following the acquisition of Space Micro by Voyager Space.
