SLR measures the distance from the ground SLR station to the satellite by timing the reflection of laser beams emitted towards the satellite-mounted reflector.
Since fiscal year 2017, JAXA has been developing a compact and inexpensive SLR reflector for general use in low Earth orbit.
JAXA has spun off technical information for the Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) universal small reflector named Mt.FUJI to private companies.
The Mt.FUJI SLR reflector developed by JAXA is lightweight and inexpensive, tailored for low Earth orbit use.
The Canon Electronics' microsatellite 'CE-SAT-IE' will carry the Mt.FUJI reflector, scheduled for launch on the 'H3' launcher in February 2024.
The launch of ViaSat-3 F2 will provide critical capacity after the first ViaSat-3 satellite suffered a reflector deployment anomaly in 2023.
NISAR has a 12-meter drum-shaped antenna reflector, the largest ever launched by NASA.
NISAR will monitor Earth's land and ice surfaces twice every 12 days, utilizing a 39-foot (12-meter) wide drum-shaped antenna reflector.
The ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network monitors key operations related to NISAR, including the deployment of its boom and radar antenna reflector.
Both NISAR radar signals will be transmitted to Earth using a 12-meter-wide antenna reflector built by NASA.
The NASA-built 12-meter antenna reflector on NISAR was launched in a folded state and uses a gold-plated mesh.
The NISAR antenna reflector launched in a folded state and is constructed from a gold-plated mesh.
The Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) of the BIOMASS satellite ended with the deployment of its twelve-meter reflector antenna.
The mission IM-2 carries ice drilling tools, a mass spectrometer, a laser reflector, and the drone Grace Hopper.
The Block 2 batch of four Astranis satellites includes a deployable main reflector designed to boost Ka-band throughput per satellite from 10 gigabits per second to 12 gigabits per second.
NASA completed repairs to NISAR’s reflector by October and shipped the antenna back to India on a C-130 aircraft.
NASA indicated that NISAR could not launch between October 2024 and February 2025 because the orbit would create temperature fluctuations from alternating sunlight and shadow affecting the reflector’s deployment.
NASA delayed NISAR’s original spring launch to repair the spacecraft’s 12-meter deployable reflector used by its main radar instrument.
The 12-meter deployable reflector was shipped from India to California for repairs.
L3Harris shipped its 12-meter folded rib reflector to Airbus in Toulouse, France for integration into the Biomass satellite.
