ABSTRACT:
An deployable truss structure is herein disclosed in which the deterioration of an deployable reliability with the increase in the number of constitutional parts is prevented and in which even if the number of the mechanical parts of the whole structure is increased, a stable deployable reliability is established with regard to one deploying operation of the structure. A dividable asynchronous deployable truss structure is constituted of a plurality of segments and a segment binding deployable truss structure. The dividable asynchronous deployable truss structure independently carries out the deployment as one deployment unit comprising the segment and two side structures in the segment binding deployable truss structure directly bound thereto for every deployment unit, whereby the number of parts involved in one deploying operation can be decreased and a high deployment reliability can be ensured.
