A deployer for storing and deploying a boom from a satellite, with antennas and sensors attached to the boom. The deployer includes a motor disposed within a drum and a motor shaft coupled to the drum for rotating the drum. The drum has a circular cross section and the boom, stowed in a stowed cross-sectional configuration, is wrapped around the drum with a first end of the boom attached to the drum. As the drum rotates, the boom is deployed. A tensioning mechanism applies radially inward directed forces on the folded and wrapped boom while the motor rotates the drum for deploying the boom. A microprocessor responsive to a plurality of sensors controls boom deployment.
