Abstract
The Millimetron Project for radioastronomy is currently under development at the Astro Space Center of the Lebedev Physical Institute [1]. For this project, a 10–12 m space radio telescope operating at 22.2, 43, 110 and 300 GHz is to be built. To build a large mm-band radio telescope requires a high precision foldable structure. The experience of Radioastron activity [2] was taken into account and a petal type structure was chosen for the large mm-range reflector. A deployment sequence for a petal type antenna is shown in Figure 1.
