In this paper, a new concept for a deployable parabolic reflector used in SAR satellite has a support based on a two-dimensional lazy tong mechanism is proposed. Two sets of lazy tong mechanisms are used, one at each side, to support the structure through its operation (deploying and folding). The d...
