Oxford Space Systems

Oxford Space Systems (OSS) is a UK space structures company headquartered in Harwell, Oxford, developing and manufacturing novel deployable antennas, booms, and structural systems for satellites and spacecraft, using advanced composite materials, shape memory polymers, and other innovative mechanisms to create compact, high-performance deployable structures that unfurl reliably in orbit after surviving launch vibration and thermal vacuum environments. The company's product portfolio includes deployable reflector antennas (AstroTube BOOM), lightweight deployable structures for SAR satellite payloads, and deployable composite booms and structures for a range of satellite size classes from CubeSats to large spacecraft, drawing on research partnership with the University of Oxford's engineering and materials science departments. Oxford Space Systems serves satellite prime contractors, SAR satellite developers, and constellation builders requiring high-gain, compact-stowed deployable antennas and structural systems that meet mass, volume, and reliability constraints for commercial and institutional space missions.
