Design and Analysis of an Origami-inspired Modular Thick-panel

This paper proposes a novel single-degree-of-freedom (single-DOF) modular thick-panel deployable structure (MTDS) based on the single-vertex four-crease and single-vertex six-crease
Folding solar panels in space: Miura-ori and its kinematic behavior

By folding the solar panels, the size of the panels is reduced, thus saving the energy required for the launch of the satellite, and by unfolding a large area after the launch into the intended orbit, the solar
