Design of deployable structures for satellites
A deployable structure is a structure that can change its geometry when deployed. In the context of satellites, a deployable structure is used to package the satellite components for launch. The specific scope of this project is on the design of a deployable drag sail. A drag sail is a device used t...

A deployable structure is a structure that can change its geometry when deployed. In the context of satellites, a deployable structure is used to package the satellite components for launch.
