A large balloon reflector, capable of launching and support itself at high altitudes, with a feed system capable of steering the beam quickly enough to perform target tracking of fast-moving terrestrial, stratospheric, or orbiting objects. The large balloon reflector antenna forms a suborbital antenna system that is suitable for operation from radio to infrared wavelengths and can be used, for example, for remote sensing of objects on the ground, in the atmosphere, or in space.
