what happened
Tendeg unveiled NewTEN, a two-axis steerable reflector antenna, at the 40th Annual Small Satellite Conference on August 24, per SpaceNews. The antenna pairs a compact offset-fed reflector with a two-axis pointing mechanism that keeps the RF feed fixed to the spacecraft, targeting X through Q/V-band communications for proliferated constellations where size, weight and power are constrained.
why it matters
A routine product unveiling for a smallsat antenna supplier; worth logging for constellation builders comparing off-the-shelf steerable-antenna options, but no customer or contract is named.
