Reflectarray antennas represent an innovative class of planar antenna systems that combine the favourable attributes of conventional parabolic reflectors with the flexibility and compactness of phased ...

On April 23rd, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched several satellites into low-Earth orbit including a ...

An origami-inspired reflectarray antenna developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo enables CubeSats to achieve high antenna gain while fitting within the tight size constraints of small ...

A satellite antenna the width of a small car, folded down to fit inside a box barely larger than a loaf of bread. That is the ...

In the last decade, there has been an expectation that increasing amounts of complex data be delivered faster ― and at higher quality ― through the use of revolutionary antenna systems. To expedite ...

Researchers developed and tested a deployable antenna for the 3U CubeSat OrigamiSat-2. Weighing only 64 grams and achieving a storage ratio of 265%, the antenna enables CubeSats to transmit data at ...

JAXA's tiny origami satellite just unfolded in space! See how this coffee-mug-sized tech could revolutionize future missions.

Inspired by origami design principles, the antenna has been engineered to fit inside a compact 3U CubeSat during launch before unfolding in orbit. Weighing 64g, the system expands ...
