Application of geo-truss erectable antenna 1985 - 2000 systems

The geo-truss concept provides a natural structural element to use in the deployment or fabrication of large systems. Three systems conceptually proposed and discussed are: (1) direct TV broadcast to half-time zone, Alaska dnd Hawaii; (2) deep space communication satellite; and (3) coastal water surveillance radar satellite.
