NSLComm helps lower size, weight, and power barriers for nanosatellite launches. NSLComm designs and manufactures space-qualified antennas that, once in space, unfold like parachutes to 10 times their original size, offering customers significantly more processing power and higher throughput than other small satellites. The small footprint and high throughput of NSLComm antennas reduce overall satellite launch load costs, increase transmission precision and power, and lower satellite data transmission price. “NSLComm’s aspiration is to make nanosatellite communications more affordable. Low-cost, high-speed satellite communications can help provide, for example, better in-flight connectivity. NSLComm antennas open a wide array of new applications in the space market,” said Dr. Raz Itzhaki, founder and CEO of NSLComm. “We are already collaborating with AWS by integrating NSLSat-1 and NSLComm constellation design with AWS Ground Station services to provide more affordable satellite control and telemetry to our customers.”

Will se..., look  like revolutionary...

If I remember correctly this uses a shape memory polymer for the ribs for the primary reflector, and an adaptive sub-reflector (conceptually similar to deformable optics used for optical adaptive optics) to compensate for primary deformation.

Though the rough catenary design is very reminiscent of the Falconsat-7 deployable membrane lens, though that used pantograph actuator arms, as opposed to this, which appears to use the regular cubesat staple of flat tape type deploying arms.

Well they want to launch the second satellite before the six months...

NSLComm's newly announced NSLSat-2 will eventually form part of a network of nanosatellites meant to monitor assets from space in many industries, such as oil, shipping and agriculture. NSLSat-2 will launch within six months, joining another satellite called NSLSat-1 that flew to orbit in July.
