| Abstract: | This paper presents the analysis and test results related to buckling capability, modal characteristics, and thermal expansion coefficient of STR aluminum laminate inflatable/self-rigidizable booms with lengths up to 10 metes. STR booms are fundamental building blocks of space inflatable/self-rigidizable reflectarray antennas. These boom characteristics are essential for analyzing structural integrity, in orbit dynamic response, and in orbit thermal distortion of the 8-mter reflectarray antenna. Distinct advantages of the STR booms will also be identified and presented by this paper. |
