[amsat-bb] CASSIOPE's Foldable Antennas

[Bryce Salmi]

I was watching the Canadian Space Agencies BROLL video of the CASSIOPE
satellite due to launch in a few days and noticed a neat antenna. The video
link below starts at the appropriate point in the video (feel free to watch
the whole video too). For what looks like it is essentially steel tape
measure metal... that's quite an intense antenna and deployment! I'm used
to seeing these on cubesats and other small satellites but this is very
neat to see too.
