Deployable structures and mechanisms have become a cornerstone of modern space engineering, enabling the realisation of large apertures, antennas, and other functional systems from compact launch ...
A study published in Nature Communications presents a way to create deployable structures that transform from compact folded states into expansive configurations with perfectly smooth surfaces.
A 6m-diameter composite reflector frame that could be collapsed into a 1.83m by 0.36m envelope for launch, weigh less than 13 kg and then deploy as expected in the zero-gravity LEO environment. A ...
The proposed Space Station Photovoltaic Deployable Boom has been analyzed for operating temperatures. The boom glass/epoxy structure design needs protective shielding from environmental degradation.
