Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for deploying a group of panels which can supply more power.SOLUTION: An apparatus 120 comprises: a group of panels 600 attached in a folded configuration pressed against a large number of sides 106 of a spacecraft; a group of flexible members connected to the group of panels; and a transition system connected with the group of panels and the group of flexible members. The transition system is configured to transition the group of panels from the folded configuration to a deployed configuration when the group of flexible members is extended from the spacecraft. 【課題】より大きな電力を提供できる、一連のパネルを展開させる方法及び装置を開示する。【解決手段】装置120は、折り畳み形状で、宇宙船の多数の側面106に押圧して取り付けられる一連のパネル600と、一連のパネルに接続される一連の可撓性部材と、一連のパネル及び一連の可撓性部材に接続される移行システムと、を備える。移行システムは、一連の可撓性部材を宇宙船から延伸させると、一連のパネルを折り畳み形状から展開形状に移行させるように構成される。【選択図】図6
