Figure 10.2.10 Positioning of Antenna and Rectenna Figure 10.2.11 Deployment of the Rectenna The pointing accuracy of the antenna imposes strict requirements on the surface stability. As a general rule the surface should not deviate more than one tenth of the wavelength (X = 12 cm) from its nominal flat position. However this is not necessarily true for the rectenna—it can be moderately warped and still function. Electrical Interfaces to Mir and Progress The microwave power transmission experiment requires two power connections to be made between the microwave equipment and the Mir/Progress spacecraft. One connection has to be made from the
