This paper presents the status of the telecommunication antennas that have been designed and manufactured within the development of the HERMES shuttle Rigid External Insulation. From the preliminary radio-frequency tests at high temperature to the complete C/SiC shingle antenna prototype, the design drivers, evaluation tests and manufacturing choices are discussed. Technical aspects are focused on thermal and mechanical compromises.
