Abstract

Adaptability of deployable membrane modules to hierarchical modular space structure systems is investigated, and possible construction scenarios to realize future large space structure systems such as solar power satellites are shown. Membrane modules spirally folded and actuated by inflatable tubes are considered as basic modules, and their effective combination of deployment and automatic assembly for space construction is presented.
