Detailed Project Description

first things first, i'm not an engineer so i can't make any relevant presentations. the idea just sparked in my mind. the idea is originated from simply sliding bars. using origami techniques is not very logical, considering a project like James Webb's Space Telescope. to overcome this problem we have to adapt and implement origami techniques to industrial material design. to achieve this; solar power array and secondary mirror's carrier parts should be designed as intertwined sliding bars.

Space Agency Data

no data has been used. no data available.

Hackathon Journey

the idea just sparked in my mind, so here we are.
