Description: Various concepts for large, deployable reflectors were developed and some have flown. In each case the surface material was either a continuous mesh of some sort or an assembly of rigid, continuous-surface facets or petals. Performance issues arise in each case. For mesh, reflectance diminishes with increasing frequency. For rigid sections, seams and relative positioning of the segments have to be dealt with. These two issues prompted the evolution of the concept of an unfurlable, continuous-surface reflector. The concept is described and what is learnt is presented, what is suspected will be learned, and also questions raised yet to be addressed.
