mtex set to build 1,650-antennas for Caltech’s Deep Synoptic Array

27. August 2026

Exciting news from our portfolio: mtex antenna technology is building 1,650 high-precision antennas for Caltech’s Deep Synoptic Array (DSA) — one of the most ambitious radio astronomy projects in the world. Funded by Schmidt Sciences, the observatory in Nevada is set to begin operations around 2029, scanning the sky roughly 100 times faster than today’s radio telescopes and opening new insights into galaxy formation, black holes, and fast radio bursts.

A great example of German engineering contributing to some of the world’s largest scientific infrastructure projects — and a fantastic milestone for our Space vertical.
