Low-cost Antenna Technology for Ground and Space
FreeFall’s antennas offer high-gain telecommunications through efficient beam steering over a wide field of view. This is achieved by coupling our phased array line feed with a spherical reflector. This results in reduced weight and complexity for spacecraft antennas or ground stations, leading to the availability of more data when and where it is needed at a lower cost.
Lightweight Inflatable Antennas
Deployable spacecraft antennas for telecommunications and remote sensing. This inflatable technology provides smallsats with an order of magnitude increase in data return with minimum cost and complexity. FreeFall’s systems are compact, lightweight, and high-performance, ideal for commercial and defense applications from Earth orbit to the Moon and beyond.
- Precision beam steering with a lightweight large aperture
- Minimum stowed volume
- Downlink and inter-satellite links
AllSky
FreeFall’s AllSky Antenna ground terminal enables high-performance connectivity with NGSO constellations at minimum cost. The spherical reflector remains stationary while the lightweight feed system is rapidly steered in azimuth and elevation for consistent high gain across the widest field of view. Small, long-life motors provide accurate tracking and rapid retrace in a low-power, low-profile system for fixed or mobile applications. Single-aperture connectivity with minimum break makes the All Sky Antenna an ideal solution to the Digital Divide.
