We present an evolved X-band antenna design andflight prototype currently on schedule to be deployedon NASA's Space Technology 5 spacecraft in 2004.The mission consists of three small satellites that willtake science measurements in Earth's magnetosphere.The antenna was evolved to meet a challenging set ofmission requirements, most notably the combinationof wide bandwidth for a circularly-polarized wave andwide bandwidth. Two genetic algorithms were used:one allowed branching in the antenna arms and theother did not. The highest performance antennas fromboth algorithms were fabricated and tested. A hand-designedantenna was produced by the contractor responsiblefor the design and build of the mission antennas.The hand-designed antenna is a quadrifilar helix, and we present performance data for comparisonto the evolved antennas. As of this writing, one of ourevolved antenna prototypes is undergoing flight qualification testing. If successful, the resulting antennawould represent the first evolved hardware in space, andthe first deployed evolved antenna.
