ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to multi-mission orbital spacecraft of the kind comprising a platform and several different payloads including several telecommunication antenna feed systems.
The problem is to avoid antenna interference, obtain bigger effective antenna aperture, avoid the necessity for replacing main antennae when replacing payloads, and make maximum use of longer platofrm life.
In accordance with the invention, the antenna system comprises a common primary reflector which is a permanent integral part of the platform while the feed systems are mounted on the payloads, which may be launched separately, and are assembled with the platform to cooperate with the common platform antenna system in operation.
The invention is mainly applicable to multi-mission satellites.
