About Us

Deploying the Future of Space Infrastructure

Tendeg specializes in the design and production of deployable antennas that empower missions worldwide. Our vertically integrated approach allows us to innovate quickly and deliver high-performance solutions that meet the unique demands of modern space programs. 

Founded on a commitment to excellence and a passion for discovery, we pride ourselves on being a trusted partner for both government and commercial space partners. Our team of experts, from engineers to production specialists, work collaboratively to push the boundaries of what’s possible, ensuring that every solution we deliver is flight-ready and future-focused. 

Engineering-Driven.
Mission-Focused.

At Tendeg, every decision is rooted in technical fundamentals. We never compromise on precision, performance, or quality. Our test-as-we-fly development model ensures that what we validate on the ground performs as expected in orbit.

Fully AS9100 certified, we’re known for our agility, delivering complex systems on accelerated timelines without cutting corners. Whether we’re building a 6-meter bespoke Ka-band reflector or delivering for proliferated constellations, we move fast, solve hard problems, and collaborate closely with mission partners to get flight hardware delivered when needed.

What We Build

Our systems support a broad range of orbital environments (LEO, MEO, GEO, cislunar) and applications including communications, Earth observation, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and space-based sensing.

Tendeg’s product portfolio includes:

  • Large Deployable Mesh Reflectors (up to 20m diameter)
  • Compact Reflectors with Integrated Gimbals
  • Axially Fired Antennas (Helical, Quadrifilar, Yagi, LPDA)
  • Precision Surfaces (including optical occulters and thermal shields)
  • Supporting Components: Mechanisms, Gimbals, Feeds, Electronics and more

Tendeg by the Numbers
