The 2x2 phased array is tracking satellites! I am running some tests on LEO satellites before I go full electronic beam-steering. #AMSAT #N4IP #SO50 #RS44 @RFSPACE

@rfspace Peace of art, are there IQ files available of the received data?

@rfspace DIY? Would love to learn more about the design and mechanics

@rfspace Well done !

@rfspace Can you link to the phase shifter design?

Pieter Ibelings2 years ago

@rfspace The goal is to have an SDR phase shifter with 16 channel ADC and a 420-450 MHz front end for each ADC.

🌍 At the World Space Business Week in Paris, our President Scott Wisniewski joined a panel on Direct-to-Device Satellites. Scott highlighted our MNO-first approach and comprehensive spectrum strategy: “Having a large aperture in low Earth orbit lets us handle more frequencies, balance cellular and MSS strategies, manage multiple frequencies within the same beam, and deliver as much service as possible. We don’t require a new device — it’s about enabling a full offering with flexible technology and spectrum strategy through an ecosystem approach.” 🚀 With the largest commercial phased-array satellites in LEO, flexible technology, and strong MNO partnerships, and we are building the future of global connectivity. #WSBW #Satellite #Connectivity #D2D #ASTSpaceMobile

Have you ever wondered how Starlink can keep talking to satellites moving across the sky? It uses a Phased-Array Antenna. It has many small antenna elements on a flat surface, and each one is given a tiny phase delay so the radio wave adds up in one chosen direction. That lets the beam steer electronically and stay locked onto a fast-moving satellite. In this animation, the beam pattern was generated using computational electromagnetics, by computing how the array’s directional pattern changes as those phases are updated.

Two launches. Two continents. One mission. Leo Atlas 6 (LA-06) and Leo Europe 2 (LE-02) launched just over 48 hours apart, delivering 61 Leo satellites to orbit and growing our constellation to 300+ satellites. Leo is next on the manifest for both ULA and Arianespace as we prepare to accelerate deployment rates in year two. Learn more:

LEO satellites move fast. You only get ten minutes of coverage before one passes over the horizon. Another capability CTC-1 will test: seamless handovers, or how your connection shifts from satellite to satellite without ever dropping. Adam Wexler on maintaining continuous coverage as satellites race across the sky 🛰️

Ashley St. Clair says Elon told her he used his satellites to influence the 2024 election. I didn't think Biden used Satellites and I dont think Trump did with Elons help. However I can say that at Mar-a-lago they knew Trump won before anyone But that's not really remarkable

Mission VA267: Best of the launch campaign On February 12th, 2026, Arianespace, with Ariane 6, successfully launched 32 Amazon Leo satellites into Low Earth Orbit. From the arrival of the satellites in French Guiana to liftoff from Europe’s Spaceport, mission VA267 was the result of months of preparation and coordination. This recap video takes you through the full journey: - Arrival of the 32 Amazon Leo satellites in French Guiana - Preparation of the Amazon Leo satellites in Kourou - Integration, encapsulation and launch operations - Liftoff of Ariane 6 carrying 32 Amazon Leo satellites into Low Earth Orbit - Successful separations in orbit ✨ Mission VA267 marked the first Arianespace launch supporting the deployment of Amazon’s Low Earth Orbit constellation, whose mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. This mission also initiated the first of 18 Ariane 6 launches contracted by Amazon Leo, laying the foundations for a long-term partnership supporting the rollout of a global connectivity infrastructure. 👉 Watch the full mission highlights below ⬇️ #LaunchingAmbitions ArianeGroup European Space Agency CNES Centre spatial guyanais
