The „Feed Assembly” as an essential component in the RF signal transmit/receive-chain of the Ka-band North Beam Antenna “H2NBA” for the Heinrich Hertz Mission was successfully assembled in February 2020.

Before the time consuming final surface treatment the assembly was RF-tested in the test laboratory of ADS, Munich Ottobrunn. Other components of the H2NBA-Antenna such as the “CFRP Reflector Assembly” as well as the mechanisms for antenna deployment and pointing and the fixation during launch are already nearing completion.

The final integration and all tests at antenna level will take place according to schedule between July and October 2020.
