Mass restrictions should not be a problem; designs for a 10 tn inflatable rigidifiable antenna for the QUASAT VLB1 mission quote a total mass of 42.05 kg, which includes the main chamber torus, pressurization subsystem, and stowage elements. [10] As the reflector is being used to collect rather than transmit, less accuracy is needed in manufacturing and the overall antenna structure can be simplified, so it may be possible to fit an even larger structure within the mass limits.
