The helical antenna is designed to operate within the Low Power Direct to Satellite (LPD-S) bands recently formalised by ECC, centred on 868 and 915MHz. The antennas offer a lightweight structure and compact stowage volume, enabling efficient integration on CubeSat platforms with a deployment mechanism that ensures reliable operation &#8211; critical for constellation-scale missions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget-layout related-content-also-read-box my-3\">\n<h4 class=\"mb-0\">Also Read: What is Satellite IoT?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p>Lacuna Space is building a global satellite IoT network designed to connect sensors anywhere on Earth, helping to drive innovation in agriculture, environmental monitoring, and utility management. By integrating Oxford Space Systems\u2019 deployable helical antennas, Lacuna Space ensures robust communications while keeping costs low &#8211; a critical factor in delivering scalable, real-world solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe UK is leading the way in making satellite communications open, interoperable and affordable. At Lacuna Space, we set out to move beyond proprietary systems and build on open terrestrial standards so that anyone, anywhere can benefit from space-enabled connectivity. Oxford Space Systems\u2019 reliable, flight-proven antennas are a key part of that vision, giving us the confidence to scale a truly global network\u201d, said <strong><\/strong><strong>Fernando Rodriguez<\/strong><strong>, CTO at Lacuna Space<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to see our antennas play a central role in Lacuna Space\u2019s constellation,\u201d<\/em> commented <strong><\/strong><strong>Sean Sutcliffe<\/strong><strong>, Chief Executive at Oxford Space Systems<\/strong>. \u201cThis is a great example of UK-built space technology moving from prototype to constellation production, proving its reliability in orbit time after time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With another four Lacuna Space satellites due to be launched in the coming months, both companies are demonstrating how trusted, flight-proven hardware and agile satellite manufacturing are reshaping the sector.
