Abstract
The design of a deployable spacecraft, measuring 60 m × 60 m, and with an areal density 100 g m^(−2) , is described. This spacecraft can be packaged into a cylinder measuring 1.5 m in height and 1 m in diameter. It can be deployed to a flat configuration, where it acts as a stiff, lightweight support framework for multifunctional tiles that collect sunlight, generate electric power, and transmit to a ground station on Earth.
