Harsh Bhundiya PhD candidate, MIT Aerospace Materials and Structures Laboratory Wednesday, Mar. 5 | 9:30 a.m. | AERO 111. Abstract: Modern deployable space structures have enabled spectacular missions ...

In parallel, research on deployable support trusses with shape reconfiguration has demonstrated that synchronised deployment combined with kinematic optimisation—in some cases utilising genetic ...

The satellite carries a deployable truss antenna, similar to that on the Huanjing-1C satellite launched in 2012. An object associated with the launch was tracked in a 498 by 763-kilometer orbit ...

Both carry large deployable truss antennas and operate in the S-band, or the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which space frequencies from 2 to 4 gigahertz.

Deployable composite structures: Composite systems engineered to transition from a compact, stowed state to a fully functional configuration using controlled mechanical mechanisms.
