An electronic conscanning spacecraft communication system includes an array of antennas which produce a first synthesized conscanning narrow beam which by means of a conscan tracking phased array unit is steerable to circle around a spacecraft. Also included is a spacecraft tracking phased array unit, which produces a spacecraft tracking beam. The scanning beam is adjusted so that the spacecraft is at the circle center and further provides signals to adjust the beam to point directly at the spacecraft.
