Abstract
An antenna is provided for use with a vehicle that includes a body that is encased by a thermal protection system (TPS). An opening extends through the TPS and the vehicle body, and an antenna assembly and a seal member are positioned within the opening. The seal member extends about the antenna assembly and is radio frequency (RF) opaque. A window extends across the opening to retain the antenna assembly and seal member within the opening. The window is RF transparent.
