The satellites employ a [[S band|S-band]] (between 2 and 4 GHz of frequency) [[Microstrip antenna|multilayer microstrip stacked dual‑patch antenna]]. It enables reliable telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C), in addition to inter-satellite communications and downlink data transference.Sánchez-Sevilleja S, Poyatos D, Masa-Campos JL, Aragón VM, Rodríguez JA, Santiago A. Design, Development, and Qualification of a Broadband Compact S-Band Antenna for a CubeSat Constellation. ''Sensors''. 2025; 25(4):1237. |

An inter constellation comunication link and additional S-band transceivers. TT&C data downlink via S-band patch antenna. |
|||
The antenna is optimized for nanosatellite use offering an adequate compromise between gain (6.5–7 dBi max) and bandwidth (8% Imp and AR). |
|||
The complete subsystem measures 80 x 80 x 6.53 mm and uses [[Circular polarization|right-hand circular polarisation (RHCP)]]. |
