Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A main reflector of an antenna can be shaped by tensionning flexible cables of predesignated lengths with extensible masts.The reflector can be folrled compact if the tension is released.This type of deployable antennas have a merit that the volume ratio between deployed-and folded-states is quite large.and suitable for a satellite-borne large aperture antenna. This paper describes fhe tensioned cable truss antenna under development from the view points of configuration,deployment scheme,gravity cancellation,used materials and electrical design. This antenna is planned to be used aboard the satellite for space- VLBI(Very Long Baseline Interferometry).
