Summary:In this paper, major challenges for electronically reconfigurable satellite communication antennas are discussed. Needs for future telecommunication missions, especially very high throughput geostationary satellite missions as well as low/medium earth orbit mission needs are considered. Future science missions of ESA are also discussed. Key challenges are illustrated by sample array antenna geometries for representative requirements.
