Abstract
A satellite-antenna concept is described that permits large-diameter reflectors to be deployed from a single space shuttle payload by using the lightest available reflecting surface. Antenna diameters up to one kilometre are sought for a wire-mesh reflector stretched across a hoop and distended electrostatically into parabolic shape.Keywords
