About
The Deployment Mechanism of Large Flat Antenna is a specialized component designed for integration into large antenna systems. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the deployment of flat antennas in space. The mechanism is characterized by its ability to handle large apertures, with a specified size of 3m×100m. It has a mass of up to 1200 kg and an envelope in the stowed position of up to ø4450 mm. Once deployed, the basic frequency is stated to be at least 0.1 Hz, with a nonflatness on orbit of less than 5 mm. The mechanism offers high precision, with a repeated deployment precision of ≤0.01° and a mechanical direction precision of ±0.015°. While the product is not flight-qualified, it offers the possibility to be adapted to customer requirements.
