This article presents some of the main parameters of metal mesh that affect the radio-reflective properties of reflectors and the technology for attaining these parameters by controlling the tension capacity of the mesh sheet at various stages of the radio-reflective surface manufacturing. The article also includes a brief overview of the developed methods (applied at the RESHETNEV JSC) of measuring and controlling the tension capacity of spacecraft reflectors with mesh shields, along with the analysis of the shortcomings revealed in the application of these methods. The authors introduce a new method of the tension capacity control based on the local deformation of the metal mesh by pressure of the air drawn through its surface. There are the results of development and testing of the metod, and of a model device for controlling the mesh tension capacity. The purpose of the research is to determine the operability of the device and the ways of its possible application in controlling the tension of the mesh-made reflectors ready for operation. The developed method and the model device for its application allow in-process control of the mesh tension at any spatial position of the mesh sheet. There is an analysis of possible application prospects of the method in rocket and space industry for manufacturing radio-reflecting surfaces of spacecraft antennas. According to the results of the research, the ratio of the mesh tension capacity to the pressure of the air drawn through the sheet was determined. The need for further improvement of the designed device aimed at increasing the measurement data accuracy was also pointed out.. In case the laboratory testing of the upgraded device for controlling the mesh tension capacity proves successful, further tests will be carried out in the process of sheet cutting and in the reflector shield manufacture.
