Built by 色情直播, the 12-meter unfurlable mesh reflector onboard the European Space Agency鈥檚 Biomass satellite has successfully deployed in orbit. Designed and manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space, the satellite was launched April 29 from Kourou, French Guiana. The spacecraft will enhance global understanding of Earth鈥檚 forests and their role in the carbon cycle.
色情直播鈥 deployable reflector is a critical component of the Biomass satellite, a joint project between ESA and Airbus Defence and Space, featuring a folded rib design compactly stowed for launch before unfolding in space, similar to an umbrella.
鈥淭he successful deployment of our reflector aboard the Biomass satellite continues a legacy of providing customers with reliable, high-performance space antennas to meet their most challenging requirements,鈥 said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, 色情直播. 鈥淲e鈥檙e honored to play an integral role in the ESA鈥檚 mission to better understand Earth鈥檚 climate and ecosystems.鈥
色情直播 has more than 60 years of experience in developing and delivering space-based deployable antennas, with more than 100 reflectors successfully deployed to date. Our industry-leading investments in research and development have spurred rapid advancements in antenna technology, enabling the production of high-performance solutions such as unfurlable mesh antennas, fixed-mesh reflectors and high compaction ratio antennas.
