SSTL and Oxford Space Systems have been awarded NSTP funding to develop an innovative and stowage-efficient Synthetic Aperture Radar payload.  

The innovative SAR payload will be exclusively developed in the UK and will comprise of a highly stowage-efficient deployable antenna from Oxford Space Systems and a high bandwidth radar instrument and RF system from SSTL.  

Successful completion of the project will enable the antenna to be flown on a future demonstration technology mission from SSTL, targeted for a 2021 launch.
