A new design of space deployable reflector is presented. In particular, we consider closed-chain system (with central network), which as a result of transformation reaches the conical shape. In conformity with the technical specifications, individual parts of the system perform the simultaneous motion in the radial and axial directions. The main motion of the system produced by geometric constraints...
Large deployable antenna reflectors are commonly employed for space missions. Scientific, telecommunications and earth observation applications are enabled due to the antenna gain provided by the large apertures (8–25 m). The most relevant requirements that drive the design are the size of the stowed package diameter (0.4–1.50 m), the mass (18–160 kg), the control of the deployment process, the accuracy...
