The example non-limiting technology herein provides a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) solution on board a micro-satellite that provides global revisit within 1 month; a cost below US$ 10 million; and satellite mass lower than 100 kg. One solution uses an inflatable Cassegrain type antenna with a phased beam steering array in the 1.2 GHz band.
