Description
Modern electromagnetic concepts and novel antenna designs have created new pathways for ingenious applications that could not be thought of or realized a decade ago. Incorporation of concepts such as nature-inspired optimizations integrated with artificial intelligence (AI), 3-dimensional (3D) printing, meta-materials and electromagnetic band gaps (EBGs), orbital angular momentum (OAM), flat lenses, deployable mesh reflectors and reflectarrays, modularized and adaptive configurations, and others have resulted in out-of-the-box designs for diverse applications such as planetary and lunar missions, Internet of Space (IOS), SmallSats/CubeSats, remote sensing, and others. The impact and inspiring opportunities of these novel concepts and designs specifically tailored for space enterprise utilizations will be highlighted.
