ABSTRACT:
A deployable space panel structure for use in connection with space vehicles such as satellites and the like. The deployable space panel structure includes a first series of interconnected substantially flat panel members and a second series of interconnected substantially flat members. Pivotal connectors that allow substantially free rotational movement interconnect the edges of certain of the flat panel members of the first and second series of interconnected panel members and a deployment mechanism is provided that permit the first series of interconnected panel members to be in a separate plane from the second series of interconnected panel members. This permits the first and second series of interconnected panel members to have greater strength and rigidity than if they were both located in the same plane.
