Integration of X-band SSPA in SpaceForest’s cleanroom

BySpaceForest

We are integrating an X-band SSPA amplifier whose target application will be downstream data transmitters such as constellations of Earth observation satellites. The device is an engineering model that is expected to reach TRL 7 (Technology Readiness Level), signifying the successful completion of qualification tests under target operating conditions.

This task is being carried out as part of the ESA – European Space Agency “Highly Integrated X-band SSPA” project in cooperation with Tesat Spacecom.
