Abstract

Space Sensing Models promulgates the channeling sequels of interstellar environs. A fractal array with sun-shaped irregular molds has arisen to solar activities by interchangeably pointing in the direction of sun and off source with beam swapping, whilst weighing the sun's position (psi, phi)-space (phi demarcates the antenna azimuth proportionate to north, psi contours the beam elevation over horizon) and its solid radioactivity hoarded in the antenna's beam width. The research feedback has incidents of solar fluxes and brightness temperatures to depict sun's activity. Phenomenally, nature-space fractals have been crucial quintessence in intuiting sun's after math pertaining to weather and biological sways {Weierstrass C(x,y)} on landscape, swirling with fractal clock underpinning magnetic flipping and irradiance fluctuations at phase vicissitudes have periodically wedged on territory. The remote alliance algorithms with random fractal contours have subsidized paths of self-affine topographic surfaces and space-earth stoichiometry. In this paper, antenna solar scan corollaries at X-band to detect the solar activity on fractal boresight physiognomies of 3-dB HPBW around 0.5° solar diameter with 36° crest atmospheric stray radiations (SLL) rope inpetite sidelobes 60˚ near the core flamboyant region, return loss S₁₁<-10 dB at X/Ku-band on horizontal and vertical tilting bearings have been estimated.
