Shape Memory Polymer Composite Booms with Applications in Reel-Type Solar Arrays

Abstract Solar arrays are the primary energy source for spacecraft. Although traditional rigid solar arrays improve power supply, the quality increases proportionally. Hence, it is difficult to satisfy the requirements of high-power and low-cost space applications. In this study, a shape-memory poly...
