Deployment Control of Spinning Space Webs and Membranes

Deployment Control of Spinning Space Webs and Membranes

Future solar sail and solar power satellite missions require deployment of large and lightweight flexible structures in space. One option is to spin the assembly and use the centrifugal force for deployment, stiffening and stabilization. Some of the main advantages with spin deployment are that the...
