Abstract

With the development of mobile communication technology, the large deployable parabolic mesh reflectors are wildly used to improve the antenna gain. Considering the large inertia, long-period deployment, and low stiffness properties, these antennae have a great influence on the dynamics and control of the satellites. Firstly, the structural characteristics and its influences on the dynamic and control of the whole-satellite were introduced for the large mesh deployable antenna. Secondly, the dynamic and control problems were discussed, such as dynamic modeling of the deployed antenna, verification method of the deployed dynamic model, multi-body dynamics of the deploying antenna, deploying-process attitude control, and pointing control of the antenna, and so on. Finally, the prospects of the dynamics and control of the satellite with large deployable antenna were presented.
