Minimizing the size of satellites has its advantages. It equally imposes several challenges in bringing up the satellite from the drawing board to a flight model. This paper focuses on an antenna deployment mechanism that is being developed by a student satellite team from BMS college of engineering. Antenna deployment mechanisms of similar class satellite programs were referred and a model has been developed and analyzed. Experiments were also conducted on a prototype model to verify the conceptual working of the mechanism. Keyphrases: 3U CubeSat, Experiments on antenna deployment, antenna deployment mechanism
