    摘要: A spacecraft (100) includes a plurality of deployable module elements (110), at least one of the deployable module elements including a robotic manipulator (150), the spacecraft being reconfigurable from a launch configuration to an on-orbit configuration. In the launch configuration, the deployable module elements are disposed in a launch vehicle in a first arrangement. In the on-orbit configuration, the deployable module elements are disposed in a second configuration. The spacecraft is self-assembled by the robotic manipulator reconfiguring the spacecraft from the launch configuration, through a transition configuration, to the on-orbit configuration. The deployable module elements may be in a stacked arrangement in the launch configuration and may be in a side-by-side arrangement in the on-orbit configuration.

    摘要: A wide beam radio frequency (RF) antenna includes a waveguide and one or more electrically conductive protrusions. The waveguide has at least one electrically conductive interior wall surface, a boresight defined by a longitudinal axis, and an aperture plane, transverse to the longitudinal axis, disposed at a distal end of the waveguide. A first proximal portion of each protrusion is electrically coupled to the electrically conductive interior wall surface, a distal portion of the protrusion being outside the aperture plane.

    摘要: A spacecraft has a high efficiency multi-beam antenna (MBA) system that serves a coverage region on the Earth. The coverage region subtends an angle, when viewed from the spacecraft, of at least ten degrees. The antenna system provides, within the coverage region, at least sixteen spot beams. A signal provided by the MBA system to each spot beam has a carrier to interference ratio (C/I) of no less than 20 dB. The system enables use of a three color frequency reuse scheme without recourse to signal encoding.
