ABSTRACT:
Spacecraft payload architecture which includes an array (10) of radiating elements preceded by an amplification stage (17) and a focusing optical system (11), characterized in that the architecture is adapted to a telecommunication mission by taking into account the overall requirements of the system, namely the radiation performance required for the mission, efficient rating of the amplification stage and attractive overall balances.
