Structural concepts for large spacecraft
Abstract
Design concepts for deployable spacecraft structures are examined with particular emphasis on mass/area optimization, stowability, and assembly, and the relations of these requirements to functional design parameters. Component and modular concepts for platforms and reflectors, structural configurations for long columns, pretension columns, and joint concepts are discussed. A brief overview of astronaut and automated assembly studies is included.
