Abstract
Space Shuttle antenna requirements and environmental considerations, a high temperature antenna design approach, and a test program to establish acceptable antenna system parameters are summarized. The design approach combines an RF window, which provides thermal protection, with an off-the-shelf antenna. Typical test data are presented to illustrate design approach validity.
