Abstract
A deployable electromagnetic radiation antenna system is provided. The deployable electromagnetic radiation antenna system includes one or more support structures, an electromagnetic radiation directing lens adapted to pass a beam of electromagnetic radiation, and a satellite body including at least one deployment mechanism, wherein the electromagnetic radiation directing lens is deployable in a first direction away from the satellite body, the electromagnetic radiation directing lens being coupled to the satellite body by the one or more support structures, wherein the at least one deployment mechanism deploys the one or more support structures to deploy the electromagnetic radiation directing lens from an undeployed state to a deployed state by at least forming a substantially planar surface of the deployed electromagnetic radiation directing lens.
