An antenna reflector for satellites or space vehicles having a number of hexagonal individual reflectors (1) which can be arranged around a rigid central element (2). The reflectors (1) are connected to the central element (2) by a support structure (3) that can collapse to hold the reflectors in a compact storage state or be extended to deploy the reflectors. The reflectors (1) are folded like an umbrella in a transport state when the reflectors are collapsed and at the place of use, they are brought into their operating positions and spread out, so that they collectively form a reflector surface. Each reflector (1) has a foldable surface structure connected by a multiple number of ribs (11) to a rigid, central structure (12).
