Abstract;We've been investigating a deployable adaptive supporting structure of a large modular antenna reflector to compensate an initial aligment in orbit. It adjusts the reflector direction at supporting position mechanically and keeps the alignment of the reflector. We clarified the characteristics of alignment mechanism and its method including the sensor system by real-scale trial model. (author abst.)
