Small Aperture
Reflectors

Agility in Orbit


Our compact reflector platforms are built for performance in a small package. From tactical comms to data relay and LEO constellations, these apertures deliver the RF performance required by modern missions with form factors that flex to match different spacecraft configurations.

Flight Programs

More than 10 successful deployments on orbit .

Lunar Communications

Tendeg is supplying high gain, 0.7m X and Ka-band KaPDA products for vehicles in lunar orbit and on the lunar surface, providing a critical link for high-speed communications in this unforgiving environment.

LEO Q/V Backhaul

Tendeg has deployed 10+ high gain, 0.7m Q/V KaPDA products supporting backhaul communications in LEO. This includes a two-axis gimbal providing hemispherical coverage from LEO to ground.

Manufactured at
the Speed of Need

We’ve engineered our compact reflectors for manufacturability and mission fit. Every configuration is grounded in the same core architecture designed to support repeat builds, fast delivery, and simple spacecraft integration.

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.

Compact
Stowage Options

Flat-packed Flip-Out platforms and gimbaled 2-axis versions allow us to meet the unique mechanical constraints of each mission.

Configurable Feed &
Electronics Integration

Feeds, diplexers, front end electronics, and harnessing are modular and can be delivered integrated or customer supplied.

Designed for
Constellation Scale

Our approach prioritizes production tempo, cost control, and thermal/electrical simplicity that is vital for proliferated missions.
