Abstract

Recently, deployable membrane structure has been applied to deorbit mechanism for small satellite. One of the typical examples is deployable membrane system with the use of inflatable tubes or convex tapes as extension booms. The ground experiment results on the deployment of the conceptual models of the membrane structures are reported as well as the numerical analysis of their deployment dynamics in this paper.
