Scientific paper

Two contrasting, primary areas of application of highly underformable space structures are identified to illustrate the state of the art in the European space industry. The technologies associated with the structures of high gain antennas and space telescopes are illustrated by selected examples. The philosophies adopted in translating the electrical or optical requirements initially into mechanical and thermal designs, and subsequently into hardware, are presented. Attention is given to deformations induced by launch and on station environments, to methods of controlling local environments and to demands from terrestrial assembly and integration. In addition to existing designs and hardware, current trends and developments are identified.
