SUBSTANTIATION OF THE STRUCTURAL-LAYOUT SCHEME OF THE MIRROR-SPACE-ANTENNA REFLECTOR WITH A HIGH SHAPE STABILITY AND A LOW DENSITY PER UNIT LENGTH

Problems of designing space-antenna reflectors from composite materials for promising telecommunication satellites are considered. Selection of designs is based on the numerical modeling of heat-transfer and mechanics processes corresponding to orbital-fl ight conditions
