Deployable trusses
□ Description

Deployable trusses use shape memory polymer composite components as the major driving sources and the support structures in order to provide structural load-bearing, self-locking, and deployment functions

□ Advantages
Lightweight
Various structural forms
Simple drive structure
Stable deployment process
Small impact
High reliability

The tip-loaded deployable truss based on shape memory polymer composites has been set on the SJ-18 satellite

CUSTOMIZABLE
Can be used as deployment structures such as deployable beams and gravity gradient booms
