Deployable antenna phase A study

Applications for large deployable antennas were re-examined, flight demonstration objectives were defined, the flight article (antenna) was preliminarily designed, and the flight program and ground development program, including the support equipment, were defined for a proposed space transportation system flight experiment to demonstrate a large (50 to 200 meter) deployable antenna system. Tasks described include: (1) performance requirements analysis; (2) system design and definition; (3) orbital operations analysis; and (4) programmatic analysis.

Deployable antenna demonstration study

A 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.
