A study of hybrid inflatable space booms for small satellite applications
Inflatables have considerable packing efficiencies and allow simple deployment. This is due to their lack of stiffness when deflated, offering low cost solutions for space applications. After inflation, these typically soft systems could be improved using tape springs as structural stiffeners along...
