Abstract Large net-shape deployable antennas composed by mesh reflector membrane surface and deployable truss structure are an effective tool for satellite communication. Design methods for a large deployable reflector structure were introduced systemically and some measures to prevent winding wereproposed. According to these methods, two prototype models with different net types were successfully designed and manufactured and prime experiments were carried out on them. These methods provided important references for design of similar deployable net-shape antennas.
