Radial Rib antenna (RRA) has successfully unfurled and has been deployed in-orbit. It was earlier launched via RISAT-2B spacecraft.
About:
Launch: Radial Rib antenna (RRA) is a world class technology demonstrated in-orbit in RISAT-2B spacecraft. This 3.6 metre antenna was folded & stowed during launch and later successfully unfurled & deployed in-orbit. The deployment was completed in 7 mins and 20 seconds.
Developers: The antenna was realised indigenously by ISRO team in a record time of 13 months. Successful deployment of RRA in RISAT-2B establishes the combination of all skills mastered by ISRO indigenously.
Features: Development of light weight structure, hinge mechanism, design of newer mesh, actuators etc., were some of the challenges involved in the realisation of this antenna.
