Abstract

JAXA has been researching the on-orbit assembly methods for large, lightweight space structures to realize a 30-meter-square planar antenna. The DEployable LIGHtweight planar antenna Technology demonstration (DELIGHT) mission is scheduled to demonstrate this novel assembly method in orbit. It will deploy two columns of four serially connected panels, each with a unique deployment and assembly mechanism. This presentation outlines the assembly technology and the design of the lightweight planar antenna. We also present the current development status of the proto-flight model of the DELIGHT system with a focus on deployment testing.
