Simplified spacecraft antenna reflector for stowage in confined envelopes

Simplified spacecraft antenna reflector for stowage in confined envelopes

A method for stowing a unitary flexible antenna reflector 10 in a confining envelope and deploying the reflector from the envelope. In a most general sense, the invention includes the steps of: a) applying a deforming force to diametrically opposed positions 16 and 18 near an edge of the reflector 1...

description A method for stowing a unitary flexible antenna reflector 10 in a confining envelope and deploying the reflector from the envelope. In a most general sense, the invention includes the steps of: a) applying a deforming force to diametrically opposed positions 16 and 18 near an edge of the reflector 10 to place the reflector in a deformed state; b) maintaining the reflector 10 in the deformed state until deployment; and c) releasing the reflector 10 from the deformed state. In a specific embodiment, the step of maintaining the reflector 10 in a deformed state includes the step of attaching a restraining element between the diametrically opposed positions on the edge of the reflector which is released on deployment.
