Deployable Solar Arrays

Deployable Solar Arrays is a deployable mechanism designed to compactly stow and subsequently unfold photovoltaic surfaces for electrical power generation in space missions, distinguished by its integration of lightweight structural elements and hinge-based or foldable architectures enabling high packaging efficiency and reliable in-orbit deployment.
