A review of the NASA supplied mission scenarios for the communications, radiometry and radio astronomy missions. Led to specific hoop/column antenna configurations for each mission. The mission configurations were then evaluated to identify specific technology items requiring further development. The compilation of these technology drivers resulted in a specification of an artificial or point design, the design element around which all design and performance estimates for the rest of the program were made. Mechanisms for deployment and stowing are examined including the cable driven mast and the latch pulley roller. Methods for determining the thermal expansion of candidate materials, the development of the cables, cords, and hinged joints, and surface adjustment are considered.
