UK space: The wrapped rib radar antenna is lighter, less complex and more cost-competitive than those currently available commercially

£1m injection into pioneering new UK space technology: The wrapped rib radar antenna is lighter, less complex and more cost-competitive than those currently available commercially.

The development of a new generation of pioneering British deployable satellite antennas has been boosted following a £1m MOD investment.

The new antenna will be used to meet the needs of fine-resolution Low Earth Orbit Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery. SAR permits all weather Earth observation, irrespective of time of day or night. This provides unique advantages for both civil and defence applications. The technology will enable the UK to deploy a number of antennas in space, providing more accurate and frequent satellite images.

The technology consists of a specialist carbon-fibre composite and utilises origami engineering techniques to create a unique, compact, deployable antenna. This results in an antenna that is compact and light weight when folded for easy portability and deployability but can unfurl to several metres when in space, just like a large pop-up umbrella.
