Features and variations
- Modular system design Modular mounting, interfaces and control software allow seamless integration of Milexia feeds and customer-specified equipment with minimal integration effort.
- Lightweight, robust construction High-modulus carbon fibre reflector and mounts combined with a dual-axis cycloidal zero-backlash gearbox, designed for reliable operation in harsh environments.
- Optimised reflector optics Micro-shaped reflector optics provide excellent performance for both Prime Focus and Cassegrain feed configurations.
- High surface accuracy Carbon fibre reflector lay-up optimised for RF frequency requirements, achieving surface deviation RMS <0.25 mm (frequency dependent).
- Precise pointing and tracking 26-bit absolute encoders (0.000005° resolution) with closed-loop power tracking ensure high pointing accuracy and maximum link performance.
- OpenAPI control software Designed for full standalone operation or integration into larger ground station networks, with software modules activated based on connected equipment.
