DARPA's mini-antenna will test emerging sensor and satellite concepts in LEO - News
January 25, 2019
ARLINGTON, Va. The Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is readying for a late-February 2019 launch of a prototype antenna it calls the Radio Frequency Risk Reduction Deployment Demonstration (R3D2); the prototype is intended to space-qualify a new type of membrane reflectarray antenna. The antenna, made of an extremely thin Kapton membrane, is packed tightly stowed for launch and then deploys to its full size of 2.25 meters in diameter once it reaches low Earth orbit (LEO).
