SWISSto12为HummingSat地球静止轨道任务签约HPS/LSS可展开天线反射器

SWISSto12, a Switzerland-based satellite communications company, has awarded a contract to German space subsystem consortium HPS/LSS for a large deployable reflector subsystem for the NEASTAR-1 mission. The reflector will be integrated with SWISSto12’s HummingSat small geostationary satellite platform.

总部位于瑞士的卫星通信公司 SWISSto12 已向德国空间子系统联合体 HPS/LSS 授予一份合同，为 NEASTAR-1 任务提供大型可展开反射器子系统。该反射器将与 SWISSto12 的 HummingSat 小型地球静止轨道卫星平台集成。

According to the company, the mission will enable direct-to-device media broadcasting capabilities from geostationary orbit, supporting direct-to-device broadcasting through a single GEO platform instead of a distributed LEO constellation. The large deployable reflector subsystem (LDRS) will operate in L-band and unfold in orbit after launch.

据该公司称，该任务将实现从地球静止轨道向设备的直接媒体广播能力，通过单个地球静止轨道平台支持直接到设备的广播，而无需依赖分布式低地球轨道星座。大型可展开反射器子系统将在 L 波段运行，并在发射后在轨展开。

HPS/LSS will supply a 5 m diameter antenna reflector, including the deployment arm and associated subassemblies. SWISSto12 said the contract supports its strategy to strengthen European capabilities for end-to-end space systems.

HPS/LSS 将提供一个直径为 5 米的天线反射器，包括展开臂及相关子组件。SWISSto12 表示，该合同支持其加强欧洲端到端空间系统能力的战略。

The antenna reflector subsystem is the result of more than 15 years of development supported by the European Space Agency’s Advanced Research in Telecommunications programme, ESA Earth Observation Technology Development activities, and the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme.

该天线反射器子系统是超过 15 年研发的成果，得到了欧洲空间局高级电信研究计划、欧空局地球观测技术开发活动以及欧盟地平线 2020 计划的支持。

The NEASTAR-1-LDRS contract is co-funded by ESA, with core funding from the German Space Agency within the German Aerospace Center, and additional contributions from other ESA Member States.

NEASTAR-1-LDRS 合同由欧空局共同资助，核心资金来自德国航空航天中心内的德国空间局，并得到其他欧空局成员国的额外贡献。

SWISSto12 said the project combines its HummingSat platform with a large deployable L-band reflector antenna, opening a new category of space system for direct-to-device services. The company added that the architecture could provide wide coverage for critical network capabilities without operators relying on large satellite constellations.

SWISSto12 表示，该项目将其 HummingSat 平台与大型可展开 L 波段反射器天线相结合，为直接到设备服务开辟了一种新型空间系统。该公司补充说，该架构可以为关键网络能力提供广泛覆盖，而运营商无需依赖大型卫星星座。

Since the start of the HummingSat programme, SWISSto12 has expanded its industrial footprint in Germany. The company said this latest contract strengthens the German contribution to HummingSat and supports future cooperation aligned with the German Federal Government’s Space Strategy, particularly around secure communications.

自 HummingSat 计划启动以来，SWISSto12 已扩大了其在德国的工业足迹。该公司表示，这份最新合同加强了德国对 HummingSat 的贡献，并支持未来与德国联邦政府空间战略（特别是在安全通信方面）相一致的合作。

The HPS/LSS consortium joins SWISSto12’s German supply chain network, which includes ASP, AST, DLR, Tesat, Thales Germany, Jena Optronik, and Rockwell Collins Germany.

HPS/LSS 联合体加入了 SWISSto12 的德国供应链网络，该网络包括 ASP、AST、DLR、Tesat、Thales Germany、Jena Optronik 和 Rockwell Collins Germany。

“Collaboration with HPS/LSS was fast and effective from the first day,” said Emile de Rijk, CEO and Founder of SWISSto12. “They have demonstrated a strong technical heritage and proven track record in building LDRS, notably for ESA missions, underscoring the progress of ESA and DLR’s vision to develop resilient, sovereign space capabilities.”

“与 HPS/LSS 的合作从第一天起就快速有效，”SWISSto12 首席执行官兼创始人 Emile de Rijk 表示。“他们在构建大型可展开反射器方面展示了强大的技术传承和 proven track record，尤其是在欧空局任务中，这突显了欧空局和德国航天局在开发弹性、主权空间能力方面的愿景所取得的进展。”

Ernst K. Pfeiffer, CEO of HPS GmbH, said the agreement contributes to European technological sovereignty through Swiss-German collaboration. He added that the contract delivers “tangible business results” four months after German ESA-CM25 decisions were made.

HPS GmbH 首席执行官 Ernst K. Pfeiffer 表示，该协议通过瑞士-德国合作为欧洲技术主权做出了贡献。他补充说，该合同在德国欧空局-CM25 决策做出四个月后就带来了“切实的业务成果”。

Leri Datashvili, Co-CEO and Founder of LSS GmbH, said the consortium is working to pioneer LDRS technology in Europe for communications, reconnaissance, and observation applications.

LSS GmbH 联合首席执行官兼创始人 Leri Datashvili 表示，该联合体正在致力于在欧洲率先将大型可展开反射器技术用于通信、侦察和观测应用。

Laurent Jaffart, Director of Resilience, Navigation and Connectivity at ESA, said the contract shows how European industrial collaboration can support next-generation connectivity, particularly in the direct-to-device domain.

欧空局韧性、导航与连接部主任 Laurent Jaffart 表示，该合同展示了欧洲工业合作如何支持下一代连接，特别是在直接到设备领域。

Founded in 2011, SWISSto12 develops satellite payloads and compact geostationary satellites. The company says it uses patented manufacturing and design technologies, including 3D printing, to manufacture advanced satellite payloads that can be hosted on third-party satellites or on its HummingSat platform.

SWISSto12 成立于 2011 年，开发卫星有效载荷和紧凑型地球静止轨道卫星。该公司表示，它使用包括 3D 打印在内的专利制造和设计技术，来制造先进的卫星有效载荷，这些载荷可以搭载在第三方卫星或其 HummingSat 平台上。

SWISSto12 is currently delivering seven HummingSat GEO platforms to global operators. The company reported CHF 110 million in revenue.
