DARS (Distributed Active Reflector Satellite)

A Distributed Active Reflector Satellite (DARS) is a communication satellite composed of multiple interconnected units that work together to reflect and amplify signals. Unlike traditional satellites with a single dish, DARS uses a network of smaller, active components to steer and shape radio signals dynamically. This architecture enhances flexibility, coverage, and signal strength, enabling more efficient communication, broadcasting, or scientific data transmission. DARS technology offers a scalable and adaptable approach to satellite communication, providing improved performance for services like global broadcasting, telecommunications, and remote sensing.
