Abstract
The Antenna reflectors made of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) are used in spacecrafts for Satellite Communication in C, S and Ku bands. For futuristic Satellite Communication applications in x2018;Kax2019; band, there is a need of improving the reflectivity for Radio Frequency (RF) signals by metallising the surface of CFRP reflectors. The space qualified CFRP reflectors have been developed by ISRO for various GEOSAT projects but the process for developing a space qualified reflector having a metallized surface has not been established in the country. Recently, efforts in this hither to fore unexplored domain have been made jointly by Space Application Center, Ahemadabad and National Aerospace lab, Bangalore to develop reflectors with metallized surface.
