A telescopic boom and reflector assembly for a spacecraft that includes a telescopic boom having a plurality of boom sections that are nested together within a prime batten or where the prime batten is attached to an outermost section of the boom when the boom is in a stowed position, where an innermost and smallest diameter section of the boom is secured to the spacecraft to facilitate testing and integration of the boom and reflector as a unitized assembly. The assembly also includes a reflector having a truss structure configured to allow the reflector to be collapsed into a stowed configuration, where the reflector is mounted to the prime batten. The assembly is configured to be deployed from the spacecraft by releasing the boom in a telescopic manner where the boom sections increase in diameter from the spacecraft outward when the boom is deployed.
