Development of mechatronic telescopic structure for nano and micro satellites;

Hexagon Aerospace Ltd. is startup company specialized in Ramp;D in space science sector; The Project proposal is for developing and optimization of telescopic-unfolding composite structure with two stable biaxial states of the composite and controlled deployment, designed for implementation in nano and micro satellites to expand the range of their application and space missions capabilities; The usages of nano and micro satellites is growing rapidly internationally, especially for satellites with masses between 1 and 10 kg and few liters of volume. The main reasons for this innovation is the shorten development and low density development of costs; Miniature satellites allow cheaper designs, and are ease for mass production: when a particular mission of this type of satellites required to use telescopic deploy-able structure, the actual paradigm now is that there are very few such structures that have been developed and subsequently used in actual missions. The product falls within the priority axis "designing and manufacturing of high-tech products and /or participation in -national production chain, including the aerospace industry" in the thematic areas of ISIS - mechanics and clean technologies; Continuously growing market for space satellites globally determines the economic feasibility of such innovation; For the implementation of this project a special team of qualified professionals has been created with extensive experience in designing and producing composite structures and thanks to the planned activities, the unlimited access to online databases of NASA and ESA, planed market analysis and future creation of virtual 3D model, the ultimate goal of the project will be reached: developed innovative product / structure with global application in the field of space technology, devices and flight fixtures;
