A spacecraft with a linear extension boom, an antenna feed, and a rigid antenna reflector is provided. The rigid antenna reflector may be connected with one end of the linear extension boom, and the other end of the linear extension boom may be connected with the spacecraft main body. In a launch configuration of the spacecraft, the linear extension boom may be retracted into a stowed configuration, and in an on-orbit configuration of the spacecraft, the linear extension boom may be extended into a deployed configuration, thereby moving the rigid antenna reflector away from the yaw axis of the spacecraft and positioning the rigid antenna reflector such that the focal point of the rigid antenna reflector may be oriented to align on, and be collocated with, the antenna feed. The rigid antenna reflector may be connected with the linear extension boom by a positioning mechanism that provides for adjustment in the angular orientation of the rigid antenna reflector relative to the linear extension boom.
