The Anywaves S-Band Launcher Antenna brings the reliability of our flagship S-Band TT&C Antenna to launch vehicle applications. Operating across 2.025–2.29 GHz in full duplex, it provides the stable TT&C link required throughout all phases of a launch mission — from ground checkout on the pad to separation and orbit insertion. Its design is directly derived from a TRL 9 antenna with in-orbit heritage since 2019.
Rated TRL 8, the S-Band Launcher Antenna is protected by a thermal shield engineered to withstand the extreme thermal environment of liftoff and ascent. At 145 × 145 × 30 mm, it fits within space-constrained launcher body designs while delivering a gain exceeding 6.0 dBi at boresight. Available in LHCP or RHCP, ITAR Free, and supplied with full acceptance testing on flight models.
Key Features:
-
- > 6.5 dBi — highest L1/E1 gain for precise positioning
- Phase center variation <1 mm sphere — precise orbit determination
- Full hemispherical coverage HPBW > 90°
- 103 g / size <1U — easy integration on any platform
- Full acceptance testing included
- ITAR Free — worldwide delivery
