Public award description
NOVEL TECHNOLOGIES ARE DESIRED TO MEET EVOLVING DEMAND FOR REMOTE MICROWAVE SENSORS. SPECIFICALLY, A LARGE-APERTURE, ACTIVE ANTENNA WHICH STOWS INTO A COMPACT VOLUME ON EACH SPACECRAFT OF A SATELLITE CONSTELLATION CAN REDUCE THE NUMBER OF SATELLITES REQUIRED TO ADEQUATELY SAMPLE A GIVEN MEASUREMENT. INDEED, WITH A LOWER SATELLITE COUNT, A SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC BENEFIT CAN BE REALIZED WITH THE COST SAVINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CORRESPONDING REDUCED LAUNCH BURDEN. MMA DESIGN LLC PROPOSES TO ADVANCE THE STATE-OF-THE-ART IN LARGE-APERTURE, HIGH-ASPECT RATIO TECHNOLOGIES BY DEVELOPING A DEPLOYABLE SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR (SAR) ANTENNA APPLICABLE TO A MICROSAT FORM FACTOR USING REFLECTARRAY RIGID PANELS. THE LARGE APERTURE RIGID ANTENNA (LARA), STOWS EFFICIENTLY IN AN 1800-CM3 VOLUME (30 CM 30 CM 20 CM) AND RELIABLY DEPLOYS FORMING A 4.5-M2 APERTURE WITH A 5.6:1 ASPECT RATIO
