Abstract
This paper presents the construction method of the new rigidizable membrane for space inflatable structures. Cool rigidization method is used to decrease the electrical power when the inflatable structure is rigidized. The single-layer thermally plasticizing fabric is proposed to establish the lightweight and highly flexible membrane. Rigidization process and structural characteristics are evaluated using the fibers, the fabrics and the inflatable tube with the diameter of 150mm and the length of 2000mm.
