Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

A method is developed for determining the manufacturing parameters of a lattice structure used in the primary reflector of a space telescope. The braiding parameters of the lattice structure are calculated, taking account of the characteristics of the radial braiding machine and the relevant constraints. The optimal reinforcement density is determined.
