Abstract
A satellite includes first and second extensible pantographic trusses, each configured to extend outwardly from the satellite in opposite directions from a stored position to a deployed position, and first and second sets of ribs carried by the respective first and second extensible pantographic trusses. A Radio Frequency (RF) reflective film may be carried by the first and second sets of ribs to define a curved RF reflector surface. The satellite antenna may include first and second sets of phased array antenna feeds carried by the respective first and second extensible pantographic trusses and directed toward the RF reflective film, which in an example may be a RF reflective mesh.
