As the size of reflector antenna increases, the influence of flexible deformation to the system dynamics is much more significant. The coupling between the flexible deformation and the rigid displacement needs to be considered. However, the traditional dynamic modelling and control method for large reflector antenna ignores this coupling. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a dynamic method based on Lagrange Principle, and the corresponding control strategy is discussed. Finally, we
