ROSCOSMOS enterprise increased production of waveguides for satellites

RESHETNEV specialists apply advanced techniques to produce  waveguides of complex configuration

RESHETNEV company (a part of ROSCOSMOS State Corporation) specializing in satellite systems manufacturing has increased production volumes of world-class domestic waveguides.

Finalizing research & development activities allowed boosting the production process.

A waveguide is one of payload components in satellites acting as directional channel for radio signal propagation. Signal integrity on board and quality of satellite services depend on the waveguides quality.

RESHETNEV company is the main manufacturer and supplier of waveguides for ROSCOSMOS and ROSTEC enterprises. The Siberian satellite building company has implemented the closed production cycle which includes mechanical, electroplating and thermal processing, welding, soldering and locksmith operations, assembly and multi-level quality control. Waveguide production is localized in one of the company's workshops – on the site of about 1,300 square meters.

By the end of 2024 RESHETNEV has completely fulfilled its demand for waveguides. In 2025 the company shall produce around 3.7 thousand waveguides for its satellites. And by the end of 2026 the company will supply 6.5 thousand waveguides for external customers: LLC SPC MKA, JSC YaMZ, JCS SPE ALMAZ, and JSC R&D APPLIED MECHANICS-RAZVITIYE.

RESHETNEV company has completed the project with consideration to the requirements of “Manufacturing system of ROSCOSMOS State Corporation” standard, which has strengthened its position as a technological leader in the industry.
