A new concept for deployable mesh reflectors is pre-sented. It consists of a deployable ring structure and two identical cable nets (front and rear nets) connected by ten-sion ties. The reflecting mesh is attached to the front net. The concept has been demonstrated by means of simple demonstrator hardware. A preliminary design of a 3 m diameter, 10 GHz reflector with a focal length to diam-eter ratio F/D = 0.4 that could be packaged within an envelope of 0.1 × 0.2 × 0.8 m3 is presented
