How Aresys is advancing in SmallSat market

In the coming days, we will participate in the Small Satellite Conference to be held in Salt Lake City in 2025. To further strengthen our involvement in this market, ARESYS is preparing a series of papers on newly developed products: X-band Micro SAR Electronics, Light SAR On-board Processor, and Gigabit X-band Payload Data Transmission.

As the SmallSat market rapidly expands, ARESYS is pioneering advanced SAR technology for small satellites. We spoke with our 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿, Fabio Gerace, to learn more about ARESYS’s vision and innovations in this field.

“The X-band Micro SAR Electronics is an innovative electronics and RF component of a SAR payload designed, developed, and qualified by ARESYS at TRL 6. It is intended for use on small satellites (starting from 40 kg) capable of acquiring SAR images in various modes, including Stripmap, Spotlight, SIMO, and MIMO (in swarm) configurations.”
