Deployable Mechanisms

Deployable Mechanisms is a mechanical system in spacecraft design that belongs to the class of structural mechanisms and is specifically characterized by its ability to undergo controlled transformation from a compact, stowed configuration to an expanded, operational configuration to fulfill functional requirements in space environments.
