Carbon fiber reinforced shape memory polymer (FR-SMP) has been developed for space deployable structures as solar paddles, antennas, etc. This material is lightweight, low-cost, and has high workability. We have experimentally proved enough tolerance against space environment for its mechanical and shapes recover property. Deploying test using flat plate models has been revealed that unidirectional reinforced configuration has good shape memory property due to well-balanced rigidity and flexibility. Hemisphere model has been produced through newly-developed FR-SMP dry prepreg., 資料番号: AA0049500010, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-06-006
