This article describes search studies of optimal design and technological solutions for the ultralight mirror space antenna reflectors made of CFRP. The studies included finite element modeling of the reflector temperature and stress-strain state in the geostationary orbit. As a result of comparing the results of a number reflector variants modeling, a design was chosen, with minimal values of temperature displacements and linear density
