This book describes a feasible means of constructing such a
reflector, as well as simple, reliable and low-cost structures for
television and radio transmissions, debris removal from space and
the development of solar sails for interplanetary missions. The aim
of this book is thus to provide a comprehensive overview of the
research in the technology of such space based structures expanded
by centrifugal forces.
The most promising concepts and design solutions for different
applications are addressed. Particular emphasis is placed on
deployment dynamics of space-based structures and their retrieval
techniques: the reorientation of expanded film sheets in space,
selecting film folding patterns, tethering systems, and deployment
mechanisms, and controlling the deployment-retrieval process by
space vehicles. Also featured are sections on ground and orbital
simulation.
