About
This shaping telescopic element is engineered for the construction of large transformable reflectors, specifically for deployment on spacecraft operating in geostationary orbit. Its primary purpose is the disclosure of elements of these large reflectors. Key functionalities include the ability to deploy two-, three-, and four-pointed spokes without any limitation on the length of the links. Furthermore, it offers the possibility of reverse movement of the links, providing flexibility in operation. The product was released in 2015 and boasts a guaranteed service life of 17 years. It is adaptable to customer requirements, with an estimated production and delivery time of 12 months. It can withstand a maximum axial force of over 200 kg and operates with a 27V (+1-0.3) power supply.
