Mitsubishi Develops 3-D Printing Of Satellite Antennas In Orbit
Most of the satellites that are launched into space have antennas for communications. Elaborate folding antennas are necessary in order to fit them inside the payload of the launch vehicle. Once the satellite reaches its preferred orbit, the antenna must be unfolded and spread out in order to function. Problems with deploying the antenna can be fatal to a satellite.
