REVOLVE convened a special session on Recent developments in antenna technologies for emerging satellite systems as part of the schedule of the 2017 European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2017). The session, which was convened by Dr. Mauro Ettorre and George Goussetis of REVOLVE in collaboration with Dr. James Nessel of NASA, provided a forum to showcase latest developments in ground and space segment antennas and systems for a range of emerging space missions. The session (which included presentations by Thales Alenia Space, European Space Agency, NASA, Jet Propulsion Laboratories and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) was very well attended by 100 conference participants and triggered interesting discussions throughout. With an attendance over 1000 delegates, EuCAP is providing the ideal place for the exchange of scientific and technical information, and to foster collaboration and cooperation in the Antenna and Propagation domain, at both European and global levels
