ABSTRACT:
A reflector assembly in a satellite system includes a reflector having a reflecting surface and a back surface. The back surface is opposite the reflecting surface and has a plurality of ribs extending transversely therefrom. The reflector assembly further includes a layer of air-entrapped foam insulation having an inside surface. The inside surface has a plurality of grooves configured to receive the plurality of ribs therein. The reflector assembly further includes a heater assembly attached to the inside surface of the layer of air-entrapped foam insulation. The heater assembly includes a plurality of heater pads, a plurality of jumper wires electrically interconnecting the heater pads in series, and two end wires. Each end wire is connected to a respective end one of the heater pads. Each of the plurality of heater pads is disposed between a corresponding adjacent pair of the grooves. The reflector assembly further includes an adhesive layer covering substantially all of each one of the plurality of heater pads and interconnecting the heater assembly with the back surface of the reflector.
