NewSpace Heritage Report
Issue H1 – 2026
Reporting in from orbit
A running record of ERZIA NewSpace RF and microwave amplifiers as they perform in real missions—from low Earth orbit to deep space.
This issue
ERZIA’s New Space customers are reporting nominal, healthy performance from NewSpace amplifiers already on orbit while the NewSpace line itself keeps clearing new bars for radiation robustness and delivery speed. This issue covers three developments from the first half of 2026: in-mission performance reports, a completed heavy-ion radiation test campaign, and the delivery of 216 units for a LEO constellation program in under six months.
ERZIA publishes this heritage update twice a year. It’s a way of sharing what we can responsibly say about how our hardware behaves once it leaves our hands and reaches its final destination orbit.
01 · In-Mission Performance Reports
NewSpace amplifiers reported operating nominally on active missions
ERZIA customers have reported that several ERZIA NewSpace MW&RF amplifiers are operating nominally and in good health aboard their missions. Two recent program results shared include: X-band low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) flying on a deep-space science program, and Ka-band high-power amplifiers (HPAs) flying on a low Earth orbit mission.
Because ERZIA’s NewSpace hardware is supplied as commercial off-the-shelf MW&RF amplifiers and assemblies that customers integrate and operate independently, these reports are unsolicited, third-party confirmation of how the units behave in their final operating environment. It is not lab data. It is flight data. Out of respect for customer confidentiality, ERZIA shares these results by product type, frequency band, and orbit rather than by mission or customer name.

02 · Radiation Qualification Testing
NewSpace line passes additional heavy-ion SEE testing
ERZIA completed a new Heavy-Ion SEE test campaign on NewSpace power components with historically limited radiation data. No destructive effects were observed.
| Test Type | Heavy-Ion Single-Event Effects (SEE) |
|---|---|
| Standards Followed | MIL-STD-750, JESD57 |
| Test Facility | Heavy-ion accelerator facility |
| LET | Up to 47 MeV·cm²/mg |
| Bias Condition | Above nominal operating point |
| Components Tested | Internal DC and power-conditioning components of NewSpace amplifiers |
| Result | No destructive single-event effects observed |
| Why It Matters | Independent verification of long-term reliability in LEO, MEO, and GEO radiation environments |
“We can validate that ERZIA’s NewSpace power components underwent Heavy-Ion Single-Event Effects (SEE) testing per MIL-STD-750 and JESD57, at a Linear Energy Transfer of up to 47 MeV·cm²/mg under bias conditions above nominal operating point. No destructive single-event effects were observed during the test campaign.”

03 · Erzia Newspace Program Delivery
216 NewSpace amplifiers delivered for a LEO constellation program
ERZIA completed delivery of 216 New Space RF and microwave amplifiers for a Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation program, combining standard ERZIA NewSpace COTS products with modules customized to the program's specific requirements. The full lifecycle from purchase order to final delivery, including design, customization, production, and testing, was completed in 24 weeks, with the first units shipped just 8 weeks after order receipt.
“This project shows how we support New Space customers beyond standard catalog supply by combining the speed and reliability of our COTS products with the flexibility to customize when required, without compromising delivery timelines.”
