A retractable and re-deployable assembly is provided for collecting electromagnetic energy, for instance in outer space. The assembly has two layers: a first layer comprising a substrate and a second layer comprising an array of electromagnetic transducers. The second layer may further include a plurality of panels, each of which has a proximal edge and a distal edge opposite to the proximal edge. The panels also have a reflective surface and opposite the reflective surface a collector surface on which the array of electromagnetic transducers is disposed. The panels may be flexible and pre-formed to a cylindrical parabolic shape such that when this embodiment is in the deployed configuration, the edge of the panel curls away from the substrate layer because of the pre-formed parabolic shape, thus helping focus the energy on the transducers.
