Transmit Data from Space to Earth amid Harsh Conditions

For decades, GORE® Spaceflight Microwave RF Assemblies have transmitted unfailing signals with low loss up to 40 GHz in hundreds of global programs. They durably protect against shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, chemicals, radiation and ATOX. Small and low-mass, they help minimize mass budget problems and tight installation paths.

Ensure Mission Readiness & Success

Featuring approved materials, GORE Spaceflight Microwave RF Assemblies deliver many advantages that ensure the success of LEO, GEO and deep space missions — from takeoff to landing and back.

  • reliable signal integrity with low loss and excellent phase stability from DC to 40 GHz
  • outstanding shielding effectiveness across wide operating frequencies
  • superior protection against shock, vibration, radiation, extreme temps, ATOX and more
  • small, low-mass designs help meet challenging mass budgets and tight installation paths
  • proven performance through ESCC and NASA qualification testing replicating mission life, including integration, launch and in-orbit phases
  • a variety of high-power, high-frequency and high-density cable types
  • more design options with robust, low-profile connector options
Applications

GORE Spaceflight Microwave RF Assemblies are trusted to ensure readiness and success in many applications operating in low earth orbit (LEO), geostationary earth orbit (GEO) and deep space environments, like:

  • antennas
  • box-to-box connections
  • extreme temperatures
  • general & low-mass payload
  • high-density interconnections
  • high-frequency & high-power equipment
  • low-PIM & multipaction equipment
  • inside-the-box connections
  • limited-flex equipment
  • low insertion loss applications
  • mass-critical applications
  • Multiplexor
  • Quick connect
  • satellite panel-to-panel equipment
Cable Types

We offer a selection of cable types in various frequencies, diameters and lengths to accommodate many high-power, high-frequency and high-density applications for traditional space or NewSpace and launch.

  • Frequencies: 18, 22, 29.5, 32 and 40 GHz
  • Diameters: 0.085 in (2.2 mm), 0.120 in (3.0 mm), 0.140 in (3.6 mm), 0.170 in (4.3 mm), 0.190 in (4.8 mm), 0.290 (7.4 mm), 0.320 in (8.1 mm)

You can request specific phase or time delay matching for applications with frequencies up to 40 GHz. We can also provide absolute and relative time delay matching to sub-picosecond tolerances.
