A design concept for the construction of an offset-fed antenna is discussed. Antennas of this type are of interest for space applications because the configuration eliminates the effects of feed and feed-support blockage. The proposed construction concept is developed around the assembly of a stiff truss substructure by pressure-suited astronauts operating in extravehicular activity (EVA) assisted by a mobile platform that moves along the structure to position the astronauts at joint locations where they can latch members in place. Construction can be accomplished from the shuttle cargo bay in the course of a normal flight or from a space station platform. The concepts demonstrates the versatility of machine assisted manned assembly and is only one of many potential applications.
