Comtech was awarded a $2.1 million follow-on contract from a commercial space company for several full-motion large aperture antenna tracking systems. 

“This award, for this important project and customer, demonstrates the unique value proposition offered by Comtech’s antenna products for use in critical satellite ground system projects,” said Fred Kornberg, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech Telecommunications Corp.

The contract was awarded to Comtech’s Space & Component Technology (“SCT”) division, which specializes in ground station systems and life cycle management, as well as the supply of high reliability microelectronics (“EEE parts”) for use in satellite, launch vehicle and manned space applications.

Satellite tracking antennas are manufactured from 30cm to 13m, as well as RF feeds, radomes and carbon fiber reflectors, for LEO, MEO and GEO orbits, for customers worldwide, for all frequency bands. This encompasses all aspects of use including requirements definition and analysis, design, development, and integration of turnkey systems from antenna to data processing, civil works and construction, software, station installation and verification, operations and maintenance, and decommissioning at end of life.
