  2. 1. Deployment Control of Spinning Space Webs and Membranes

    Author : Mattias Gärdsback; Anders Eriksson; Gunnar Tibert; Thomas W. Murphey; KTH; []
    Keywords : Flexible structures; space webs; membranes; solar sails; solar power systems; deployment control; optimal control; centrifugal force deployment; spin deployment; rotation-free; shell elements; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  4. 2. Numerical and Experimental Studies of Deployment Dynamics of Space Webs and CubeSat Booms

    Author : Huina Mao; Gunnar Tibert; Arne Nordmark; Anders Eriksson; Keith Seffen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Deployable structure; Space web; Centrifugal force deployment; Deployable boom; Bi-stable tape spring; Fiber-reinforced composite; Viscoelasticity; Aerospace Engineering; Flyg- och rymdteknik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, experiments and simulations are performed to study the deployment dynamics of space webs and space booms, focusing on the deployment and stabilization phases of the space web and the behavior of the bi-stable tape spring booms after long-term stowage.The space web, Suaineadh, was launched onboard the sounding rocket REXUS-12 from the Swedish launch base Esrange in Kiruna on 19 March 2012.
