Abstract
A method for the production of a reflector for antennas to be used in outer space in which a thread (,) is wound on a winding spindle (,), to obtain a netting or network structure. The winding spindle (,) has contour segments (,) on its surface, whose contour corresponds to the contour of a sector of the reflector surface being produced. After winding, the resulting thread network structure is hardened on the winding spindle (,) and the thread network structure is divided into individual sections. The contour segments (,) are separated from the winding spindle (,) and together with the sections of the hardened network structure thereon are fitted together on an assembly rig so that the individual sections collectively form a reflector. The winding of the thread of the network structure on the spindle can vary in at least one direction or in its angle of placement a, so that the network structure has a different, selectable rigidity in individual areas.
