ASOLANT Advanced Solar Antenna

Advanced Solar Antennas ASOLANT is an innovative technology to integrate, on the same surface, printed antennas and Amorphous Silicon or Gallium Arsenide solar cells providing:

• Optimization of the total surface available for solar cells and antennas
• High compatibility between antennas and solar cells
• Reduction of the mass and the volume of the satellite!
• Reduction of the satellite launch costs

The ASOLANT technology has been developed under two ESA-ESTEC contracts:

• ESA-ESTEC Contract AO/1-3308/97/NL/NB, SOLANT, "Integration of antennas with solar cells"
• ESA-ESTEC Contract AO/1-3543/99/NL/SB, Advanced SOLANT "Design and Breadboarding of Advanced Solar Antennas (ASOLANT) based on Amorphous Silicon (Si) and Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Solar Cells"
• ESA-ESTEC Contract AO/1-3543/99/NL/SB CCN, ASOLANT In-Flight demonstration.
