Rigidised inflatable flexible continuum structure

The two types of support structures for the solar collectors and equipment that will be considered are the rigid deployable skeletal (RDS) structure and the rigidised inflatable flexible continuum (RIFC) structure both types of structure need to be lightweight and rigid and, in the case of the skeletal structure, high modulus composite materials would be used. In addition, the structures must be able to be folded to a minimum volume to be placed in the cargo bay of the Launch Vehicle, launched and deployed at LEO, and then taken to GEO by space tug,Wingo (2004). [Pg.395]
