Location

Salt Palace Convention Center, Salt Lake City, UT

Abstract

The Get Away Special Radio and Antenna Transparency Satellite (GASRATS) is a 2U technology demonstration CubeSat. The spacecraft will demonstrate the feasibility of an optically transparent solar panel-integrated patch antenna in a spacecraft application. The solar panel integrated with meshed antenna efficiently uses external surface area, allowing for communications and power generation on a small CubeSat.
