About
The Small Antenna Module (SAM) is Spacemanic’s deployable antenna solution for nanosatellite communication systems. It offers reliable performance across a range of mission-tailored configurations — UHF dipole, VHF dipole, UHF cross dipole (turnstile), VHF cross dipole (turnstile), UHF V-dipole, VHF V-dipole, and combined UHF+VHF dipole. SAM features plug-and-play integration compatible with Spacemanic platforms and third-party CubeSat buses. Deployment redundancy ensures antenna deployment reliability on orbit. The module has flight heritage and is ITAR-free. It ships with refurbishment tooling, debug cable, platform cable, and ICD documentation.
