Reaktor Space Lab and VTT investigate a new frequency band for telecommunications satellites

Finnish expertise in ESA’s nanosatelliteReaktor Space Lab and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland are participating in an ESA project, which involves investigating a new frequency band for next-generation telecommunication satellites. A nanosatellite to be constructed as part of the project will feature a Finnish platform and radio transmitter. As the number of satellites and the speed required for data communications increase, transition to higher frequencies will become a necessity in the near future.  Funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of its ARTES programme, this
