1st Space Microwave Week
Event recap
Space Microwave Week — ESTEC, Noordwijk (Netherlands)
We took part in the inaugural Space Microwave Week at ESA’s European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC), sharing best practices for material characterisation from microwave to mmWave.
Our presentation
Technical talkMaterials characterisation
Benchmarking of Current Industrial Best Practices and Emerging Techniques for the Consistent Electric and Dielectric Characterization of Materials from Microwave to Millimeter-Wave Ranges
We presented measurement workflows and round-robin insights enabling consistent, traceable parameters across a wide frequency span — essential for reliable space hardware design.
Why it mattered
ESTEC setting
Europe’s largest space R&D centre provided the perfect backdrop for cross-disciplinary exchange.
Shared practices
Benchmarking tied industrial methods to emerging techniques for microwave→mmWave ranges.
Project synergies
We highlighted results and use-cases from I4BAGS and ULTCC6G_EPac.
Thank you
Our thanks to the organisers for a milestone first edition and to all participants for insightful discussions that will drive future collaborations.
Stay in touch
Interested in traceable material parameters for space systems, or in benchmarking/round-robin exercises? We’re happy to share slides and datasets.
