Deployable antenna demonstration studyA demonstration system and shuttle flight program was defined to demonstrate packaging, transportation, erection, and structural integrity of a large deployable antenna concept. An analysis of deployable antenna requirements indicates that (1) erectable structures are clearly applicable to very high precision (above 50 GHz) antennas (10 to 30 m); (2) deployable structures are light weight, applicable to moderate precision (below 14 GHz) large antennas (up to 300 m); and (3) both deployable and erectable apply to small and large antenna platforms with common utilities.
