Abstract

As the most important payload of communication satellites, scout satellites, relay satellites and remote sensing satellites, the solid surface deployable parabolic reflector has a high surface accuracy, a high stiffness but a heavy weight and a low folding ratio. The configure optimization and surface accuracy investigation become the perquisite of the engineering design due to the ascending requirement of the operating frequency and folding ratio. This paper dedicates on the coupling multi-parameter configuration optimization and the stochastic procedure based surface accuracy investigation of a solid surface deployable parabolic reflector. It can be concluded that the folding ratio of the optimized reflector attains to 0.296; the repeating error plays the most important role in surface accuracy and the exist of the machining error leads to a more unify surface accuracy. This investigation may lead to an intensive comprehension on the solid surface deployable reflectors.
