MIT's Inflatable Antennae Could Boost Small Satellite Communications 52

coondoggie writes "Researchers at the Massachusetts's Institute of technology say they have developed an antenna for small satellites (known as cubesats) that can fold into a compact space and inflate when in orbit. The inflatable antenna lets a CubeSat transmit data back to Earth at a distance seven times farther than that of existing CubeSat communications."
