- W1557719532 abstract "Inflatable structures are attracting attention for both space and terrestrial applications due to their low mass and stowed volume, achieving a weight saving of at least 50% and a reduction in stowed volume of up to 75%. In the space environment the use of inflatable structures reduces launch costs and increases the achievable dimensions and in terrestrial environments their use also increases the achievable dimensions whilst increasing portability. Advancements in material and manufacturing technologies have improved our ability to achieve greater shape and surface accuracy with inflatable structures and the capacity to simulate the dynamic response of flexible structures has increased our understanding of their behaviour. The ability to design and manufacture inflatable structures to ever increasing accuracy has made it possible to apply inflatable structures to communications applications where shape accuracy is critical. As the gain of parabolic dish antennas is directly related to the aperture of the dish, maximum dish diameter and minimum weight are key drivers of the technology. At the same time the performance of a parabolic dish antenna is directly related to its shape and surface accuracy. The successful deployment of the Inflatable Antenna Experiment (IAE) by L'Garde in 1996 demonstrated that a shape accuracy of within 2mm RMS is achievable with a 15m diameter parabolic reflector in the space environment. The work in 2004 by Mathers et al, has demonstrated that it is possible to develop an inflatable parabolic dish antenna for use in a terrestrial environment. This paper examines the opportunities for this technology in the space, extraterrestrial and terrestrial environments and the challenges these environments pose." @default.
