Large Aperture
Reflectors
Enabling Big Missions
Our large aperture reflectors are the structural backbone of some of the most ambitious communications, sensing, and science missions on orbit. From Earth observation to GEO communications, our scalable mesh reflectors combine performance, stiffness, and packaging efficiency.
Flight Programs
More than a dozen large apertures deployed on-orbit.

Built for Scaled Production
Tendeg’s reflector families are designed for repeatability, modularity, and ease of integration. Our new 120,000 sq. ft. facility is built to handle the scale and precision required to produce flight hardware at speed while maintaining the fidelity and performance these missions demand.
Build Qualities
Tendeg manages the full lifecycle of deployable systems from design, prototyping, and testing, to integration, and delivery – all under one roof. Our process is technically rigorous, data-driven, and built to meet flight requirements without compromise.

Repeatable
Flight Hardware
Tendeg’s large aperture antenna’s are engineered with tooling, alignment fixtures, and deployment systems designed to support high-rate production.
Modular,
Scalable Design
Our Ultra-Stiff and Tensar platforms share a modular design DNA, with consistent interfaces and a scalable architecture for different aperture sizes and stiffness requirements.
Optimized Mass
and Stowage
From 3m to 20m+, our reflectors compact with precision and deploy with reliability. Every gram and cubic mm is accounted for.
Integrated
Structures
Reflector, boom, gimbal, and feed integration are core to our value, providing clean mechanical and RF paths through a single engineered system.
