A satellite (SAT) includes a platform, at least one solar panel for supplying the satellite (SAT) with electrical energy, the solar panel being fixed along one side of the platform, the satellite comprising an antenna system (Rx+Z, Rx-Z, Tx+Z, Tx-Z) comprising two remote control antennas (Rx+Z, Rx-Z) and two remote measurement antennas (Tx+Z, Tx-Z), wherein the two remote control antennas (Rx+Z, Rx-Z) are disposed back to back on either side of the platform, and spaced one from the other by a distance less than or equal to λ, where λ corresponds to the wavelength of the remote control or remote measurement signal, the two remote measurement antennas (Tx+Z, Tx-Z) are disposed back to back, on either side of the platform, and spaced one from the other by a distance less than or equal to λ, the antenna system is disposed at one of the two ends of the side of the platform (PF) on which the solar panel (PS) is fixed.
