Abstract

The aim of work is to create a dynamic model of a space antenna with the pantograph structure and study the processes of its deployment using open-source software. The methods of theoretical mechanics, multi-body dynamics, computational mechanics, and computer modeling were used for this research. The object for modeling is a novel mesh antenna, which is designed for mini-satellites. The most significant difference between this antenna and others is the design of the support ring in the form of a pantograph. Using the built model, antenna deployment is simulated for different cases. Values of deployment time and cable tension during the antenna deployment are analyzed.
