"This book surveys a variety of antenna designs used for CubeSat communication and radar by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The first chapter presents a brief introduction of CubeSats. The second chapter illustrates the telecommunication subsystem of Mars Cube One (MarCO) mission, with an emphasis on the antenna development. The third chapter describes the enabling technology of Radar in a CubeSat (RainCube): the 0.5m deployable mesh reflector. Chapter 4 presents the electrical and mechanical design of the largest reflectarray compatible with a 6U-class CubeSat: OMERA (one meter reflectarray antenna). Chapter 5 explains the development of a one-meter mesh reflector for telecommunication at X- and Ka-band for deep space missions. In Chapter 6, an inflatable antenna operating at X-band is shown from an electrical and mechanical point of view with all the challenges associated with operation in space. In Chapter 7, depicts how a novel patch array mainly made of metal is used on a CubeSat. Finally, Chapter 8 describes the design of multiple metasurface antennas"--
