Deployment And Hold-Down Mechanisms

Scientific paper

Cosmo SkyMed is an Italian scientific space project involving three satellites, each of them equipped with a two-wing solar array. ALCATEL SPACE is in charge of the development, qualification and delivery of these solar arrays, one particularity of which is the deployment kinematics: each wing is deployed on a 180° angular stroke, but the four-panel stack must unfold during the second half only (i.e. from 90° to 180°). The deployment concept is based on a cable synchronization device providing several key advantages and allowing a size similar to usual ALCATEL SPACE solar array deployment mechanisms.
