It is noted that large space antennas can solve problems of theoretical and practical importance. Large-diameter (tens or hundreds of meters) mirror antennas have been designed to use an automatically deployed truss frame as a base onto which the radio-reflecting surface is pulled (long-wave version) or on which controllable panels are mounted (short-wave version). The reasons why antennas of mm range can be promptly developed are discussed. Consideration is given to the factors that influence the precision of the reflecting surface of the space antenna, that is technological errors during the process of frame manufacture, technological errors during the manufacture of the reflecting surface, and deformation arising from thermal or force effects. The need to design antennas with automatic control of the reflecting surface in order to operate in the mm wavelength range is stressed.
