Tendeg | Deployable Antennas

The Antennas and Structures Behind the Mission.

We design, build, and deliver flight-proven deployable antennas and space structures—mission-specific, high-performance, and built to scale.

PROBLEM WE SOLVE

Deployable Mesh Antennas
for the Modern Mission.

Deployable mesh antennas used to be seen as hard to build and expensive. Tendeg changed that. We design and deliver high-performance flight hardware that meets the mission’s needs—without blowing past budgets or timelines. We’re scaling with intent—actively investing in supply chain maturity and production systems that can deliver at the pace strategic missions demand. All from our growing 160,000 square foot production hub in Louisville, CO.

WHAT WE BUILD

Built for
the mission

From small form-factor Ka-band systems to large-aperture mesh reflectors, Tendeg builds antennas tuned to your mission—LEO, GEO, cislunar, and beyond. Every platform is engineered for precision. Every system is built to deploy when it counts.

FLIGHT HERITAGE

Proven
on Orbit

We don’t just design antennas—we deliver them. 25+ deployable systems flown. 100% deployment and mission success. Trusted by Capella, NASA, Lockheed Martin, and more.

HOW WE WORK

We Build What
Others Can’t.

Our 160,000 sq. ft. facility in Louisville, CO is a purpose-built manufacturing hub—designed to meet the growing national demand for strategic space infrastructure. We prototype, test, and produce under one roof—scaling high-performance antennas for secure communications, proliferated constellations, and exploration-class missions. As government and commercial missions move faster and demand more, Tendeg is investing in the systems and supply chain to deliver—on time, at scale, and with

PROCESS

End-to-End Solutions.

Tendeg manages the full lifecycle of deployable systems—design, prototyping, testing, integration, and delivery—all under one roof. Our process is technically rigorous, data-driven, and built to meet flight requirements without compromise.

1. Design

Engineer structures for mission-specific dynamics, packaging, and deployment.

2. Prototype

Build early models to validate clearances, sequence timing, and mechanical fits.

3. Test

Run thermal vac, vibration, and deployment tests in-house—replicating mission conditions.

4. Integrate

Final systems are qualified, verified, and ready to perform on orbit.

5. Deploy

Structures are proven in test, qualified for flight, and ready to perform on orbit.
