The aim of the course is to give an overview of design approaches, constraints and technical solutions for Space Antennas, addressing both theoretical and technological issues. The course will focus on main space applications such as telecommunication, earth observation and science but will also address other uses of antennas for space. The lectures will cover radiofrequency, mechanical and thermal design, material technology and test aspects, ending with a visit to ESTEC satellite and antenna test facilities.

The course is strictly limited to a maximum of 30 participants.
