The first European Pure Player in antennas for satellites constellations

History

Founded in 2017 by Nicolas CAPET, PhD engineer, expert in electromagnetism and microwaves, ANYWAVES aims at becoming the leader of miniature antennas for satellites constellations.
From a well-spotted opportunity regarding 3D-printed ceramic antennas for satellites, ANYWAVES has grown from a 2-persons start-up in 2017 to a 20-people manufacturer in 2020 and has already sold more than 30 antennas.

European Space Agency

The European Space Agency is Europe’s gateway to space. Its mission is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world.

The Agency played a key role in ANYWAVES’ inception thanks to two incubation periods and by giving the company its first major contract with the ESA Innovation Triangle Initiative project in 2018.

French Space Agency

The Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) is the government agency responsible for shaping and implementing France’s space policy in Europe.

Its task is to invent the space systems of the future, bring space technologies to maturity and guarantee France’s independent access to space.

CNES stands alongside ANYWAVES since the very beginning, especially regarding a technology transfer for ANYWAVES S-Band TT&C and X-Band payload telemetry antennas (CNESadvance label).
In December 2019, in the frame of its JANUS space program, CNES allowed ANYWAVES to secure the first heritage of its S-band TT&C and X-Band Payload Telemetry antennas with three of them equipping EYESAT, a 10kg and 3U nanosat.

Thales Alenia Space

Thales Alenia Space delivers cost-effective solutions for telecommunications, navigation, Earth observation, environmental management, exploration, science and orbital infrastructures.

Governments and private industry alike count on Thales Alenia Space to design satellite-based systems.

As prime contractor developing Omnispace’s satellite-based Internet of Things (IoT) infrastrcure, Thales Alenia Space selected ANYWAVES to deliver payload user antennas embedded into the initial set of two satellites.

Hemeria

Player in the space industry, Hemeria designs and manufactures first-class space products that meet the needs of corporate and scientific customers in commercial, defence and safety applications. HEMERIA develops high-performance nanosatellites giving nontechnical professionals a fast, competitive and efficient access to space.

ANYWAVES collaborated with Hemeria in 2019 in the frame of the ANGELS program. Today in orbit, this 12U nanosat embodies two S-Band TT&C antennas.

Pixxel

Pixxel is a cutting-edge space technology company with operations in India and the US. The company is building constellations of high-resolution earth imaging satellites to provide global imagery at a daily frequency to customers in a wide range of industries worldwide.

Pixxel’s first two satellites are slated to launch in 2021 and will be equiped with our S-Band TT&C antenna

Spacety

Spacety is a global new space company specialized in small satellites and satellite-based services. Using low-cost and high-performance cubesat and smallsat fleet, Spacety provides Satellites-as-a-Service (SataaS) to support science, technology demonstration, and commercial services with fast, frequent, and flexible space flights. Spacety's Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) constellation will monitor and observe the Earth day and night, and rain or shine. This Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) will make SAR imagery of every point on Earth accessible and affordable to end users all around the world.
