ABSTRACT:
A geostationary sun oriented communications satellite has an operational module with a payload platform rotating at one r.p. day. The antenna components are mounted on the platform. The antenna components are so oriented relative to each other and to the platform that an efficient folding and unfolding is possible without any complicated mechanism.
