Claim 13:
14. A method for deploying a reflector system, comprising:
forming the CNT sheet in a concave or parabolic shape by bonding together a plurality of separate pieces of CNT sheet in a predetermined piece pattern;
intricately folding in accordance with a predetermined folding pattern CNT sheet which is highly reflective of electromagnetic waves to configure the CNT sheet in a compact folded state;
selecting the predetermined folding pattern to permit automatic extension of the CNT sheet from the compact folded state to a fully unfolded state when a tension force is applied to at least a portion of peripheral edge of the CNT sheet;
securing the CNT sheet to a support structure;
transitioning the support structure from a compact stowed configuration to a larger deployed configuration to deploy the reflector surface;
wherein the predetermined folding pattern is defined by primary fold elements including an inner polygon and an outer polygon; and
wherein the inner polygon has predetermined number corners defined by the value n, and the outer polygon has a predetermined number of points or corners defined by the value 2n.
