HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPACE With diverse sensor capabilities and a SCALABLE GROUND SYSTEMS ANTENNA REFLECTORS broad spectral range—from visible For as long as L3Harris has designed through infrared and up to 8-band L3Harris designs and manufactures and manufactured spaceborne sensors, multispectral—L3Harris SpaceView™ deployable mesh reflectors that can payloads and structures, we have also systems can be tailored to different developed state-of-the-art ground be compactly stowed for launch and missions. The ability for most models to systems. Today we are drawing upon that unfurled in space to deliver unparalleled support two on board cameras can double experience to lead the way in delivering the performance in bands ranging from system coverage on a single satellite or infrastructure needed to control, operate UHF to V band. Nearly 100 of our mesh better serve customers who have multiple and manage constellations of smallsats. antenna reflectors have been delivered to We reduce cost, risk and schedule by missions with two different camera commercial and government customers using commercially available products to modalities in the same payload. for broadcast; communications; provide a scalable ground architecture that and intelligence, surveillance and tasks, commands, controls and transports RECONFIGURABLE RADIO reconnaissance applications. Together, they petabytes of data. FREQUENCY PAYLOADS have recorded more than 800 years of ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE reliable on-orbit service. Combined with Mission adaptability and scalability is our high-performing feed solutions, these critical for responsive space solutions. To bridge the gap between smallsat highly compact reflectors enable smallsats L3Harris AppSTAR™ is a radio frequency data collection and decision making, to meet exacting mission demands. payload platform that enables satellites L3Harris provides the processing and to host multiple missions on a single analysis tools and services that transform SPACEVIEW™ IMAGING SYSTEMS vehicle. More importantly, it lets operators big data into high-value products. Our L3Harris’ SpaceView™ imaging system reconfigure their payloads to adjust to advanced processing, analytics and data products include smaller, lighter-weight changing missions, even after deployment science quickly convert raw sensor data offerings. Based on a legacy of spaceborne in space—much like cell phone users into fit-for-use results ready for analysis. imaging systems that deliver the highest add, update and change applications Our image and data analysis solutions resolution commercially available, on their devices.
