Abstract :
In view of next solar system exploration missions, such as Bepicolombo, Exomars and Juice, this paper overviews the present TAS-I antenna developments focusing on High Gain Antennas (HGA´s) for earth-to-planet communications and onboard altimeter/sounder antenna technologies in their specific harsh environment.
