Our Flight Heritage
Our flight heritage is the clearest proof of what we stand for: reliable, high-performance RF and antenna solutions tested against the harshest environment there is — space. From TT&C antennas on CNES nanosatellites to radar payloads on ESA’s planetary defence missions, our systems have flown on board science satellites, commercial constellations, exploration probes, spectrum monitoring platforms, and reusable launchers alike.
Every mission we support is built on the same foundation: rigorous ECSS-compliant engineering, end-to-end in-house manufacturing, and a relentless focus on performance at the system level. Today, our combined expertise in space antennas and RF electronics — covering Software Defined Radio, wideband spectrum monitoring, and custom payload electronics — means we can take on more of your mission stack, from the antenna aperture to the signal chain. Across LEO, MEO, and beyond, our antennas and RF subsystems are already aboard. Yours could be next.

SciencePlanetary ExplorationRAMSES Asteroid Mission
The European Space Agency RAMSES mission to asteroid Apophis will investigate the asteroid during its historic close approach to Earth in 2029. Anywaves Luxembourg (EmTroniX) developed a bi-static Low-Frequency Radar (LFR) instrument designed to scan the asteroid’s internal structure and support planetary defense research. -
Planetary Exploration4M Mission: Deep Space Communication Demonstration
The 4M mission (or Manfred Memorial Moon Mission) was a landmark private deep-space mission, achieving a lunar flyby and demonstrating long-distance communication from beyond Earth orbit. EmTroniX served as the electronic architect, delivering the radio payload, onboard computing, and power management systems that enabled reliable communication over distances of up to 400,000 km. -
Planetary ExplorationJuRa Radar Instrument for ESA’s Hera Mission
JuRa is an advanced radar instrument onboard European Space Agency’s Hera mission, designed to study the internal structure of asteroids in deep space. EmTroniX developed the complete radar payload electronics, enabling high-performance signal generation and processing within a compact CubeSat architecture. -
Planetary ExplorationCeleste Mission: Anywaves Supports ESA’s LEO-PNT Pathfinder
Celeste is ESA’s Pathfinder mission for the LEO-PNT programme, designed to demonstrate precision navigation and timing from low Earth orbit as a precursor to a full navigation constellation. It is one of the most high-profile LEO-PNT missions in Europe, and the Anywaves GNSS All-Bands Antenna was selected for its multi-constellation all-bands coverage — a natural fit for a mission dedicated to precision positioning. -
Planetary ExplorationHera Mission
Launched on 7 October 2024, European Space Agency’s Hera mission is a pioneering planetary defense mission studying the aftermath of NASA’s DART asteroid impact. Anywaves supplied advanced S-Band TT&C antennas, enabling reliable spacecraft communications for this landmark deep-space exploration mission.
Anywaves Onboard
Trusted by the world’s leading space agencies
ESA — European Space Agency
From planetary defence with HERA and Juventas, to atmospheric science with ALTIUS and the Arctic Weather Satellite, our antenna and RF solutions have been selected across multiple ESA programmes — reflecting the agency’s confidence in our engineering rigour and ECSS-compliant processes.
CNES — French National Centre for Space Studies
Our partnership with CNES spans over a decade and several landmark missions: EyeSat, ANGELS, N3SS, CO3D, and the Celeste LEO-PNT demonstrators. These collaborations have driven some of our most significant product milestones, from our first S-band antenna in orbit to multi-band LEO-PNT payload configurations.
JAXA — Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
Our antennas are part of the Mars Moons Exploration (MMX) mission, a JAXA-led programme targeting the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos. A testament to the international reach of our flight heritage and the trust placed in our products for deep space.
SDA — Space Development Agency (US)
Selected by multiple SDA contractors for the Transport Layer Tranche 1/2 and Tracking Layer constellations, our GNSS and S-band TT&C antennas are contributing to the next generation of US defence space architecture — a programme demanding the highest levels of reliability and performance at scale.
LSA – Luxembourg Space Agency
In Luxembourg, Anywaves drives its innovation activities within a strong institutional ecosystem. The Luxembourg Space Agency and Luxinnovation support selected programmes and tooling investments, complementing the company’s own development efforts and reinforcing long-term industrial capability. This context provides both continuity and external validation.

Questions
& Answers
-
What is flight heritage in the space industry?
Flight heritage refers to a product or technology’s proven track record in space — meaning it has been successfully launched, operated, and validated in orbit or on a space mission. It is one of the most critical criteria for satellite programme managers when selecting components, as it significantly reduces mission risk.
-
How many missions does Anywaves’ flight heritage cover?
Our combined flight heritage spans more than 50 missions across LEO, MEO, and deep space — covering Earth observation, navigation, defence, science, spectrum monitoring, and launcher applications. This portfolio includes both antenna systems and RF electronics and payload subsystems.
-
Which frequency bands does Anywaves cover in its flight-proven products?
Our flight-heritage products cover S-band (TT&C), X-band (data downlink), GNSS multi-band (L1/E1 and All-Bands), C-band, L-band (payload), and wideband configurations. Our RF electronics heritage additionally covers VHF/UHF, AIS, ADS-B, and Software Defined Radio platforms.
-
Does Anywaves work with both institutional and commercial customers?
Yes. Our references span major space agencies — including ESA, CNES, and JAXA — as well as leading commercial operators and New Space companies. From flagship institutional programmes to high-volume commercial constellations, we adapt our product and service offering to each programme’s specific requirements.
-
Can I get a custom antenna or RF solution for my mission?
Absolutely. Beyond our standard product catalogue, we have an extensive track record in custom RF and antenna development — from mission-specific payload antennas to fully bespoke electronics. Contact our team to discuss your requirements.
