摘要: An antenna system for space applications provides a membrane antenna with one or more flexible membranes. An antenna enclosure stores the membrane antenna during stowage. One or more first deployable support structures extend along a first axis from the antenna enclosure during deployment, at least a first point of the membrane antenna being operably anchored to a point on the first deployable support structures. Deployment mechanisms are operably anchored at a junction with the first deployable support structures. The deployment mechanisms extend one or more second deployable support structures along a second axis from the first deployable support structures during deployment. At least a second point of the membrane antenna is operably anchored to a point on the second deployable support structures. Extension of the first deployable support structures and second deployable support structures unfurls the membrane antenna along both axes to overlap the junction.
