Decoding Satellite Antenna Testing (Re-Release)

Episode notes

We’re taking another short break from our new episodes and revisiting an old favourite. Last autumn, we had the privilege to sit down with a wonderful panel of experts to explore the importance of satellite antenna testing.

Antennas are the unsung heroes of space missions, enabling vital communication and data transmission between spacecraft and ground stations. However, ensuring their reliability and performance in the harsh conditions of space is no easy feat. That's where satellite antenna testing comes into play, where rigorous evaluation and experimentation are conducted to guarantee their functionality, durability, and efficiency.

Our host Dallas Campbell is joined in the studio by Evangelos Mellios and Harvinder Nagi from the Satellite Applications Catapult, and Miro Blicharz from Helix Geospace and joining remotely, Martyn Lees from Spire.

We hope you enjoy catching up on this fantastic discussion and we’ll see you in two weeks for the last three episodes of the series!
