Tendeg is proud to announce the successful shipment of our first deployable antenna system supporting NASA’s INCUS mission. This marks a major milestone for our team and for a cutting-edge program that’s redefining what’s possible in space-based Earth observation.

The Investigation of Convective Updrafts (INCUS) mission, led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), will use a new generation of radar-equipped satellites to study how storms form, evolve, and intensify. Its goal: to better understand extreme weather patterns and improve long-term climate modeling through high-resolution, real-time atmospheric data.

Tendeg’s deployable reflector is a key component of this mission, designed to meet the stringent demands of spaceborne radar instrumentation. Built entirely at our Colorado-based facility, the hardware combines structural precision, mass efficiency, and deployment reliability to support high-performance data collection from low Earth orbit.

This program represents the best of what space science can be. It is rooted in discovery, powered by advanced engineering, and focused on delivering insight where it matters most.

We’re honored to play a part in the INCUS mission and proud to support NASA’s continued leadership in Earth science. From planetary weather systems to national resilience, this work has real-world impact.
