AstroMesh® Reflector Family

An AstroMesh® configuration is available for almost every off-set space antenna application, and with its best in class compaction ratios, AstroMesh® can be stowed for the most challenging launch envelopes. Astro has developed a flight proven family of deployable mesh reflectors capable of excellent RF performance from low frequency (UHF) to high frequency (beyond Ka-Band) in aperture sizes ranging from 3 to 22 meters. Our designs are scalable, inherently stiff, incredibly light with unmatched surface accuracy, and free from the Passive Inter-Modulation (PIM) that plagues most competitive designs.

AM-1 Class

Scalable from 6 to 22 meters
Reduced diameter versus 1st generation AM
Extensive flight heritage

AM-2 Class

Optimized design for 18 meters and above
Reduced stowed height by 40% from AM-1
Deployed truss configuration identical to AM-1

AM-Lite Class

Optimized mass design for 3 to 8 meters
50% reduction in mass from AM-1
High frequency performance efficiency verified: 55% at 31 GHz & 45% at 50 GHz for 5.2-meter reflector
