Parsons said it completed integration, testing, and operational acceptance of the first Raven Defense S-Band Phased Array Receive and Transmit Antenna Node (SPARTAN) in its OrbitXchange global antenna network. The system uses a 6 m full-motion parabolic dish with a phased-array feed that provides eight electronically steerable downlink beams and one dedicated uplink beam. Parsons said the setup is intended to support satellite commanding, telemetry, and mission data collection, including simultaneous support for multiple spacecraft. The company said SPARTAN is equipped with the Mission Link Modem, a software-defined radio designed to support multiple waveforms and data rates.
