This lecture covers the design and components of an antenna deployment mechanism, focusing on critical requirements, main functions, component selection, deployment performances, actuator types, brakes, and power budget considerations. It also discusses the use of spring actuators, angular encoders, trade-offs, and various concepts such as the Pin-puller and Gear-Motor concepts. The presentation includes examples, diagrams, and detailed explanations of the different components and their roles in the mechanism.
