A high capacity satellite having a launch configuration in which one or more antenna reflectors may be stored forward of a forward surface of the spacecraft and an on-orbit configuration in which a reflector boom may be rotated to displace the one or more antenna reflectors a substantial distance from the main body in the yaw axis direction and in a direction orthogonal to the yaw axis direction.
