MMA Space Delivers Crossed Dipole Deployable Antenna and Largest CubeSat Solar Array Ever for DoD Mission

MMA Space has developed, manufactured and delivered to our customer a UHF/VLF crossed Dipole antenna in combination with a highpower solar array wing in support of a 24U DoD CubeSat program.

The antenna stows in a 2U x 2U form factor and deploys two orthogonal dipoles to 5-meter lengths (tip-to-tip). The deployment of both dipoles is driven by a single motor-driven gear train and MMA’s radiation tolerant Deployment Control Unit (DCU) electronics. Ground testing has demonstrated outstanding electrical performance of the antenna conductive elements.

The solar array delivers 330W from a single deployed wing. A novel, controlled deployment sequence is used to achieve the 9-panel active surface, maximizing power output over a single wing. 330W is roughly 50% more power than MMA’s heritage high-power CubeSat array for 2- wing systems. This is, to our knowledge, the largest deployable solar array of its kind ever to fly on a CubeSat.

MMA @ Small Satellite Conference in Salt Lake City

Don’t miss the MMA Space team at the 2025 Small Satellite conference happening next week — August 11 – 13 —  in Salt Lake City, Utah. Come see us in Booth 705 of the Salt Palace Convention Center, SmallSat’s new home. We will be displaying the all new, revolutionary FlexArray Solar Array System which leverages our thin-film membrane technology to deploy very large areas and generate tens of kilowatts at an unbeatable dollars-per-watt price point. We will have one wing of the full-scale, standard small satellite hardware on display for you to see in person, in addition to other new deployable technologies to show you.

Schedule some time with the team if you would like to learn more! 

And if you are @SmallSat too, come by the booth each day between 1 – 2 pm to win prizes, including a chance to win a Celestron telescope!

 

MMA @ CubeSat Developer’s Workshop

Are you headed to San Luis Obispo for the CubeSat Developer’s Workshop? Don’t miss the MMA Space presentation on day 1 of the conference! Our Chief Engineer, Dr. Alexi Rakow, will be presenting on “Deployable Boom Technologies for CubeSats and SmallSats”, an important, enabling technologies for our innovative solutions for space.

When: Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at 3:20 PM
What: Deployable Boom Technologies for CubeSats and SmallSats
Who: Alexi Rakow, PhD, Chief Engineer @MMA Space
Where: CubeSat Developer’s WorkShop @ CalPoly San Luis Obispo

 

Meet the team at the 40th Space Symposium!

We look forward to this event every year, right in our backyard in the heart of the booming Colorado space industry!
The MMA Space team will be attending and exhibiting at the 40th Space Symposium at the beautiful Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.  We will be in Booth 611 of the BAE Systems Exhibit Hall South from April 7-10, 2025. If so, we look forward to connecting with you! Here are some ways to do that:
Schedule time to meet with us by selecting a time here.
Are you flying in a little early on Monday? Head towards Broomfield to tour our new facility and enjoy some food on MMA Space before you head down to Colorado Springs. We are a quick 23 minute drive from DIA, right off the E-470 N Tollroad. We would love to host you and show you around! RSVP at [email protected]
Swing by Booth 611 at the conference. Here’s where you can find us.

Meet the MMA team at AIAA SciTech this week!

Connect with the MMA team’s Blake Fardulis (Mechanical Design Engineer), Alexi Rakow (Chief Engineer), and Mark Bailey (VP of Business Development) at AIAA SciTech this week, January 6-10, in Orlando, Florida!
Blake will be presenting our recent publication Development of In-Space Assembled Tubular Masts (ATMs) regarding an in-space assembled boom technology developed under a 2024 NASA SBIR Phase I effort. ATMs are a new deployable space structures technology that enables closed cross-section booms and trusses to be assembled on orbit. ATMs present distinct performance advantages over current state-of-the-art deployable booms, while avoiding existing fabrication, furling, and deployment problems associated with permanently bonded closed cross-section high-strain composite solutions such as Collapsible Tubular Masts (CTMs).
Blake is presenting today Monday January 6, 2025 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern Time, in room Florida Ballroom A in Session: SCS-02/STR-06, In-Space Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM) I
Paper Title: Development of In-Space Assembled Tubular Masts
Presentation Time: 1:40 PM to 2:00 PM

Meet you @SmallSat August 5-8!

It’s almost time for the 38th Annual Small Satellite Conference! Are you headed to Logan, Utah too? Come see us at the Fieldhouse in Booth 235 and schedule time to meet with the team. 
We have so much exciting new technology to share! And a few surprises too.

See you Monday 4/8 @ 39th Space Symposium!

T-minus 3 days until we get to see everyone again at the 39th Space Symposium at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs! Exhibiting at Space Symposium is a highlight of our year, and we always look forward to attending this premier space industry event.
We are very excited to be launching our next-generation dragNET De-orbit and Solar Sail System this year! Our flight heritage deorbit was effective in deorbiting spacecraft in just over 2 years, but this newly retooled dragNET is going to make Space Sustainability accessible to all missions with <50% fewer parts and 1/2 the cost of the original. Come by Booth 628 to see it in person and talk to the team to learn how you can simply, affordably and reliably ensure your mission complies with the FCC <5 year rule for deorbiting spacecraft, launch vehicles or other space assets in LEO.
