Zusammenfassung:The paper reports design process of a space boom to be installed in a 50kg-class micro-satellite, tentatively called as SOHLA-1. The total mass of the boom is 483g, while the length of the boom is 416mm. A spring-string type pin-puller was proposed. Vibration test with a bread-board model (BBM) of the boom leaded to an engineering model (EM) of the boom accommodated with a two-pin type pin-puller. Vibration test with the boom EM suggested some modifications to be made for a proto-type model (PM) of the boom. Vibration test, deployment test and thermal test on the boom PM confirmed feasibility of the flight model (FM) of the boom.
