legere deployable structure and rigidifiable after unfolding, its advantages of, and its application to the equipment of a spatial

摘要

The structure comprises a line (1 - 2) consisting of at least one flexible rope (1,2) impregnated with a thermosetting material, the hardening controllable, intended to stiffen the said at least one rope after its deployment and extension. The structure may comprise at least a mesh in line with at least one flexible rope (1,2) is impregnated with thermosetting material and connected to it - same and / or at least one other chord of the rope by at least one strap (6) .elle may also comprise a deployment device (3) which is independent of the line and by extension, the cords (1,2) of the structure and the maintaining in tension during the hardening of the material durcissant.application in particular to deployable structures and and rigidifiable on board spacecraft
