Nightingale
TRL 9 single-beam communications payload
TRL 9 single-beam communications payload
Nightingale delivers focused, steerable single-beam connectivity for missions that require deterministic performance, simplified payload architectures, and low operational risk.
Power-Conditioning Unit
Ka-Band Active Phased Array Antenna
Up/Down Converter
Fully integrated payload certified to NASA GEVS standards, leveraging volume manufacturing techniques, and available at commercial scale.
Multiple active phased array tiles can combine for improved RF performance, increasing EIRP and G/T.
Utilize standardized DVB-S2, DVB-S2X, and CCSDS waveforms or design and integrate your own with the integrated, fully reprogrammable software-defined radio and single-board computer.
Turnkey configurations implement a full communications stack providing an Ethernet-to-RF solution with fully documented APIs for commanding the digitally steerable antenna array.
Compact designs are inherently more rugged and better suited for challenging space and airborne environments
Every payload comes with a full suite of documentation including CAD models, mechanical ICD, electrical ICD, a programming guide and access to our engineers.
