A de-orbiting system for small satellites which consists of self-deployable tri-axis CFRP boom with skew/spiral fold membrane wrapped around a single hub, has been proposed. The scaled model with 1.4m × 1.4m deployable membrane was demonstrated to investigate the storability and deplorability, and also the deployment properties. This paper describes the current state of development the boom-membrane deployable structure for de-orbiting satellites and its deployment properties.
