KapCOM
K/Ka-Band Transceiver CCSDS
KapCom comes as a new generation of transceivers to implement high performance Telemetry, Tracking and Control (TT&C) service. KapCOM was designed for and is used on OneWeb GEN1 constellation. It is also based on the heritage of the EWC15 Transceiver that have been used over the two last decades in key space missions such as ROSETTA, DEEP IMPACT, PARASOL, MICROSCOPE, etc.
KapCom has been especially designed to achieve top-class performances in terms of Tx/Rx communication links (fully CCSDS compliant), power consumption and radiation tolerance. A smart communication protocol has been introduced in order to achieve a fast signal acquisition: on-board & ground station sweep / lock on CW.
Thanks to a very compact and optimized form factor which includes a built-in DC-DC converter, the KapCom addresses natively any implementation within Mini or Micro satellites contributing to the global satellite integration optimization
MAIN ADVANTAGES
COMPACT DESIGN: Ideal for mini and micro satellites
LONG LIFETIME: 7 year-lifetime in Low Earth Orbit missions
COTS DESIGN: Radiation tested and hardened, ITAR free
