Folded Lightweight Actuated Position System (FLAPS) for CubeSat Deployables
Precision actuation of mechanical structures on small spacecraft is challenging. Currently the solutions include single-use actuators based mainly on pyrotechnics and springs, and multiple-use actuators that typically consume more size, weight, and power than available on CubeSats. Multiple-use …

Planar Ion Probe for Low-Latitude Ionosphere/Thermosphere Enhancements in Density Cubesat Mission
… platforms, while also avoiding high-risk deployables. Specific emphasis is placed on minimizing the physical footprint, power consumption, and measurement noise levels of the instrument, all while maintaining high measurement cadence. In this way, the device is also intended to be …

Modeling and Control of SPIDER Satellite Components
… for this technology is Super Precise Intelligent Deployables for Engineered Reconnaissance, or SPIDER. Unlike wisps of cobweb caught in the wind, SPIDER technology will dictate the functionality and versatility of the satellite much like an arachnid weaving its own web. In the present work, a …

THE ART AND SCIENCE OF TRANSFORMABLE ARCHITECTURE: Geometry Theory for 2 Bar Scissor-Hinged and Expandable Origami-Scissor Hinged Deployable Structures
Deployable structures can transform and/or expand and contract due to their geometrical, material and mechanical properties. This technology enables an architecture that can be transportable, mobile, adaptable, rapidly built, reusable and that makes efficient use of space and materials and …
