Abstract
This paper presents the development and the ultimate results of the qualification activities of the 12m unfurlable Reflector Assembly of the Large Deployable Antenna (LDA), jointly developed by the Prime Contractor: Alcatel Alenia Space Italia and several Partners, under an ESA contract. The qualification campaign will be finalized within September 2006, opening near term opportunities for space applications relying on a European technology. The paper also dedicates a section to a Flight Experiment (FE), which is a follow on activity of the LDA qualification, for the in orbit verification of the LDA performance. The final section of the paper provides an overview of
the LDA possible applications at System level.
the LDA possible applications at System level.
