I can't see a picture of the concave shape, I was under the impression that the design is that one third of the sphere is collapsed inside itself to make a nice concave antenna that's cheap and light - is this what's happenning?
Edit0: Nope! Part of the sphere is transparent, and the inside is reflective. Nothing collapsed.
And it's working very similarily to a normal parabolic antennae, but being inflatable it's way lighter/smaller, leaving more weight and room for power and instruments. Massive win!
