About
The AAC SpaceQuest AC-2000 is a space-qualified polarized S-band antenna designed for nanosatellites and CubeSats. It combines high RF performance with an extremely compact form factor, making it ideal for small satellite missions where volume and mass are at a premium.
The antenna’s small size and low-profile design allow for easy integration onto CubeSat external panels without significantly increasing the satellite’s envelope. Its high directionality enables efficient S-band communications for both TT&C and mission data downlink. The rugged design ensures reliable operation throughout the mission lifetime in the space environment.
AAC SpaceQuest is a subsidiary of AAC Clyde Space (Sweden), with decades of heritage in small satellite components. Their products have flown on hundreds of successful missions worldwide.
