Summary:With the generalization of the use of small satellites for Earth observation and telecommunication missions, there is an increasing need for deployable antennas for small platforms, and in particular deployable reflector antennas. This paper presents different research and development focuses in the field of small densely stowable reflector designs, with surface accuracy allowing their use up to Ka-band.
