This chapter, antennas will be essentially classified in three categories: Low‐gain TTC (Telemetry, Tracking & Command) antennas; TT&C antennas are required on all spacecraft and the scope and complexity of their requirements have grown considerably with the amount of data involved, in particular for science data transfer for deep space and planetary observation missions. Reflector or lens antennas; They focus waves incoming from restricted angular sector(s) which are then collected by one or a group of small feed antennas. Array antennas; They use a number of identical small antennas which are combined to receive more incoming power or to concentrate the transmitted power in restricted angular sector(s) or beams. The chapter illustrates, using examples, some of the key developments of space antennas and their modelling and technologies. A good source of material on early antenna developments for space.
