“Our advanced antenna tower structures enable us to build high performance satellites that would not be possible without tools such as 3D printing.” Matteo Genna, chief technology officer and vice president of product strategy and development at SSL, in a company release. “SSL is an innovative company that continues to evolve its highly reliable satellite platform with advanced technologies,” said Dr. The satellite, renamed JCSAT-110A, has completed in-orbit testing and is performing according to plan, the company said. The JCSAT-15 satellite was designed and built for SKY Perfect JSAT, a major satellite operator based in Japan. Its first antenna tower that was designed using these techniques, which include additive manufacturing (3D printing), was launched last December on the JCSAT-15 satellite, the company said in a press release. PALO ALTO, Calif.-Space Systems Loral (SSL), a provider of satellites and spacecraft systems, recently announced that it has successfully introduced next-generation design and manufacturing techniques for structural components into its SSL 1300 geostationary satellite platform. Space Systems Loral’s advanced design and manufacturing technologies enabled the development of a new, lower-mass antenna tower design.
