Development of an innovative space boom
presents the development of a new type of ultra-lightweight space boom, called the self-deployable Spring Strip Boom or simply the S cubed boom. It describes the fundamental design concept and several variations of design configurations. Test results of proof of concept models are discussed and compared with results obtained by analytical simultations.

Development of an inflatable SAR engineering model
Deployable and inflatable structures are successfully used in a wide variety of earth-bound applications. Their use in space, however, requires not only assurance that the structure will survive a launch to space, but also certainly that the desired deployed configuration and that the processes of deployment, inflation and rigidization in space will be successful and without posing a threat to the hosting satellite or vessel.
