Helio Corporation Announces Successful Deployment of Radar Antennas on NASA Europa Clipper Mission
Heliospace, a subsidiary of Helio (OTC PINK:HLEO), has announced the successful deployment of radar antennas on NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft. The company designed, assembled, tested, and delivered two types of antennas: two High Frequency (HF) antennas extending over 55 ft in length, and four Very High Frequency (VHF) antennas deploying to approximately 9 feet.
The radar antennas, featuring an extremely compact design, are positioned on the edges of the Europa Clipper spacecraft solar arrays. They are part of the REASON instrument (Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface), led by Dr. Donald Blankenship of the University of Texas, Austin. The instrument is designed to study Europa's icy crust from near-surface to ocean, aiming to reveal the moon's ice shell structure and potential water presence.
Heliospace, una sussidiaria di Helio (OTC PINK:HLEO), ha annunciato il successo del dispiegamento delle antenne radar sul veicolo spaziale Europa Clipper della NASA. L'azienda ha progettato, assemblato, testato e consegnato due tipi di antenne: due antenne ad Alta Frequenza (HF) lunghe oltre 55 piedi e quattro antenne a Frequenza Molto Alta (VHF) che si dispiegano a circa 9 piedi.
Le antenne radar, dotate di un design estremamente compatto, sono posizionate sui bordi degli array solari del veicolo spaziale Europa Clipper. Queste sono parte dello strumento REASON (Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface), guidato dal Dr. Donald Blankenship dell'Università del Texas, Austin. Lo strumento è progettato per studiare la crosta ghiacciata di Europa, dall'area vicina alla superficie fino all'oceano, con l'obiettivo di rivelare la struttura della calotta di ghiaccio della luna e la potenziale presenza di acqua.

La compañía diseñó, ensambló, probó y entregó dos tipos de antenas: dos antenas de Alta Frecuencia (HF) que se extienden más de 55 pies de longitud, y cuatro antenas de Muy Alta Frecuencia (VHF) que se despliegan a aproximadamente 9 pies.
Las antenas radar, con un diseño extremadamente compacto, están ubicadas en los bordes de los paneles solares de la nave espacial Europa Clipper. Son parte del instrumento REASON (Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface), dirigido por el Dr. Donald Blankenship de la Universidad de Texas, Austin. El instrumento está diseñado para estudiar la corteza helada de Europa, desde cerca de la superficie hasta el océano, con el objetivo de revelar la estructura de la capa de hielo de la luna y la posible presencia de agua.
Heliospace는 Helio (OTC PINK:HLEO)의 자회사로 NASA의 유로파 클리퍼 우주선에 레이더 안테나를 성공적으로 배치 했다고 발표했습니다. 이 회사는 55피트 이상의 길이를 가진 두 개의 고주파(HF) 안테나와 약 9피트로 펼쳐지는 네 개의 초고주파(VHF) 안테나를 설계, 조립, 시험 및 납품했습니다.
상당히 컴팩트한 디자인을 특징으로 하는 레이더 안테나는 유로파 클리퍼 우주선의 태양광 패널 가장자리에 위치하고 있습니다. 이들은 텍사스 대학교 오스틴의 도널드 블랭켄십 박사가 이끄는 REASON 기구(유로파 탐사 및 근표층 레이더)의 일부입니다. 이 기구는 유로파의 얼음 껍질을 가까운 표면에서부터 바다까지 연구하여, 이 위성의 얼음층 구조와 잠재적인 물 존재를 밝혀내는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다.

L'entreprise a conçu, assemblé, testé et livré deux types d'antennes : deux antennes à haute fréquence (HF) mesurant plus de 55 pieds de long et quatre antennes à très haute fréquence (VHF) se déployant à environ 9 pieds.
Les antennes radar, présentant un design extrêmement compact, sont positionnées sur les bords des panneaux solaires de la sonde spatiale Europa Clipper. Elles font partie de l'instrument REASON (Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface), dirigé par le Dr. Donald Blankenship de l'Université du Texas à Austin. Cet instrument est conçu pour étudier la croûte gelée d'Europe, de la surface proche à l'océan, dans le but de révéler la structure de la croûte de glace de la lune et la présence potentielle d'eau.
Heliospace, eine Tochtergesellschaft von Helio (OTC PINK:HLEO), hat den erfolgreichen Einsatz von Radarantennen auf dem Europa Clipper Raumfahrzeug der NASA angekündigt. Das Unternehmen hat zwei Typen von Antennen entworfen, zusammengebaut, getestet und geliefert: zwei Hochfrequenz-(HF)-Antennen, die über 55 Fuß lang sind, sowie vier Ultrahochfrequenz-(VHF)-Antennen, die auf etwa 9 Fuß entfaltet werden.
Die Radarantennen, die ein äußerst kompaktes Design aufweisen, sind an den Kanten der Sonnenkollektoren des Europa Clipper Raumfahrzeugs positioniert. Sie sind Teil des REASON-Instruments (Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface), das von Dr. Donald Blankenship von der University of Texas in Austin geleitet wird. Das Instrument ist darauf ausgelegt, die eisige Kruste Europas von der nahen Oberfläche bis zum Ozean zu untersuchen, mit dem Ziel, die Struktur der Eisschicht des Mondes und die potenzielle Wasservorkommen zu enthüllen.

Heliospace built two different types of radar antennas for the Europa Clipper mission: two High Frequency (HF) antennas, which deploy to over 55 ft in length, and four smaller Very High Frequency (VHF) antennas which deploy to approximately 9 feet in length. The Heliospace radar antennas are an extremely compact design accommodated on the edges of the Europa Clipper spacecraft solar arrays. According to Heliospace co-founder and CEO Greg Delory, "We're excited that our hardware has passed this first crucial milestone and look forward to the discoveries that the REASON instrument will make at Europa."
Under principal investigator Dr. Donald Blankenship of the University of Texas, Austin, REASON is a dual-frequency ice penetrating radar instrument designed to characterize and sound Europa's icy crust from the near-surface to the ocean, revealing the hidden structure of Europa's ice shell and potential water within. The Europa Clipper program is managed by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
