Deployable Reflectors for Small Satellites
A key limitation for future Small Satellite communications and radar missions will be available antenna reflector aperture. Two types of reflectors are dominant for satellite RF systems today, rigid, single-piece reflectors and deployable mesh reflectors. Single-piece reflectors are limited to the aperture that fits inside a launch vehicle without packaging the reflective surface. Mesh reflecto...
متن کاملDeployable Membrane Reflectors
This paper is concerned with the design of a new type of multi-purpose deployable membrane reflector. The reflector structure consists of a central expandable hub, a number of thin-walled foldable ribs connected radially to the hub, and a precision-shaped membrane supported and tensioned by the ribs. This concept is known as a collapsible rib-tensioned surface reflector. A methodology for the d...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Methods for Characterizing the Reliability of Deployable Modules for Large Optical Reflectors
The In-Space Telescope Assembly Robotics (ISTAR) project has proposed an architecture for a large robotically-assembled telescope in space, comprised of many deployable truss modules. The truss modules are based on the Pactruss deployment scheme and are equipped with Rolamite tape spring hinges. Fabrication and assembly errors that arise from bulk manufacturing the modules may make the deployme...
متن کاملThin-Shell Deployable Reflectors with Collapsible Stiffeners Part 1: Approach
Thin-shell deployable reflector structures that are folded elastically in a nearly inextensional mode have been recently realized, exploiting the recent availability of high-modulus, ultrathin composite materials. An inherent and significant limitation of this approach is that these structures remain “floppy” in their deployed configuration. This paper presents a general concept for increasing ...
