Galaxy Space has recently announced the successful production of its independently developed large-aperture deployable umbrella antenna. This milestone achievement marks the first instance of a high-performance satellite-borne umbrella antenna being developed by a commercial aerospace company in China. Designed specifically for satellite platforms with stringent stowage ratio requirements, this antenna boasts a 1-meter aperture with a stowage ratio of less than 12%, placing its core indicators at the forefront of international standards.

The research and development team behind this innovation has pioneered an efficient mesh surface forming technology, significantly enhancing development efficiency by over 70%. This technological breakthrough not only streamlines the production process but also ensures the antenna's superior performance. With its enhanced capacity, the antenna is poised to significantly boost the communication capabilities of low-Earth orbit satellites. Looking ahead, it is expected to work in tandem with large flat-panel antennas, emerging as a pivotal component in the core functionality of direct satellite-to-mobile-phone communication services.
