This paper presents an approach to design an antenna deployment system (ADS) for nano-satellite applications. The known material properties, simulations on ANSYS for structural loads, mission requirements and simulations on HFSS for antenna characteristics were used to reach a design for the current version of the ADS. Mechanical testing was carried out to test the recovery of the antenna from the coiled state. The test ascertained the thickness and fabrication process to be used. The antenna was decided to be a dipole antenna operating at 145 MHz based on simulations as well as mission requirements.
