Formulation of design guidelines for automated robotic assembly in outerspace [PDF]

open access: yes
The approach for arriving at design guidelines for assembly by robots in outerspace is illustrated. The use of robots in a zero gravity environment necessitates that extra factors over and above normal design guidelines be taken into account.

Latching mechanism for deployable/re-stowable columns useful in satellite construction [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
A column longeron latch assembly provides the securing mechanism for the deployable, telescoping column of a hoop/column antenna. The column is an open lattice structure with three longerons disposed 120 deg apart as the principle load bearing member ...
