The extendable antenna device is for use on aircraft, missiles and space satellites. The antenna is collapsible within the satellite during launching. It is easily extendible when the satellite has entered its orbit. The antenna boom consists of a narrow, several feet in length, strip of beryllium copper. Notches and tabs interlock along the length of the strip. The strip is wound upon a storage spool in its flat condition.
