Abstract

Variants of constructive solutions for transformable frameworks of spacecrafts are offered. The folded structures with four-ray elementary modules are used as the basis of the kinematic configurations. It is shown that the transformation patterns of folded structures ensure compactness of the framework in a transport position and make it possible to get placed in a packaged state onto a planar or cylindrical surface of the load-carrying structure, to deploy simultaneously biaxially, and to exert a minimal impact on dynamic stabilization of a spacecraft. A mathematical model for transformation of the frameworks with four-ray folded structures is developed. The model is based on vector coupling between the nodal points of the folded structure at each stage of transformation.
