摘要

Deployable mesh reflector antennas (MRA) have been utilized in space missions for satellite communications, Earth remote sensing, and deep space exploration due to their high accuracy, low mass, and thermal stability. The deployment of the MRA is a complex process that may lead to satellite failures and reduced capabilities. Additionally, the dynamics of the deployed MRA may influence spacecraft stability and performance. Thus, it is crucial to accurately predict the dynamic features of the MRA in deployment and operational modes during the design phase of any space mission. Dynamic simulation and ground testing of the MRA have attracted much attention from space researchers and engineers because of their importance and challenges. The survey focuses on advances in this area, considering various MRA designs. Different approaches for modeling support structures, mesh-cable systems, driving forces, as well as numerical algorithms, and simulation software are analyzed. Results of modal analysis, deployment studies, and testing are reviewed. Finally, key results in this field are summarized, and future work tasks are specified.
