Abstract
Distributed nanosatellite networks have the advantage of being reconfigurable, redundant, and readily deployable. Two types of antennas designed for this application are presented: a flexible UHF antenna for Earth-to-satellite communications, and an X-band retrodirective array for secure satellite-to-satellite crosslink communications.
