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.

NASA LaRC is seeking an industry partner to study the integration, deployment and packaging of secondary structures within inflation deployed volumes. Please see the attached, “Deployable Secondary ...
