Abstract

This paper outlines three numerical analytical methods developed to design large deployable space antenna reflectors for advanced satellite communication. Considering the requirements that the reflectors must be large, deployable, accurate and light weight, metallic mesh reflector surfaces shaped by a cable network and a deployable truss are the best concept.
