The concept of a curved reflecting surface by means of an electrostatic membrane appeared as early as 1932 in the British patent by Muller. The use of the electrostatic membrane in space applications as large-reflector antennas was proposed. A schematic of the concept is provided. Advantages of wrap-rib; wrap-radial-rib command surface; electromembrane applied to laser mirrors; membrane control concept; dual band elements; millimeter wavelength reflector; and the proof of concept and demonstration model are briefly presented.
