Redwire, a new leader in mission critical space solutions and high reliability components for the next generation space economy, announced today that it has acquired Deployable Space Systems, Inc.

Transition waves provide a platform for realizing deployable structures that can be expanded quickly and locked into place after deployment, according to a study. Deployable structures, such as the ...

Rivian could add a deployable roof-top canopy to the list of accessories for its EVs, if a recent patent filing is any indication. The automaker filed a patent application titled "Canopy with ...

Abstract: Deployable space structures are compacted and stowed during launch, and unfurled to their full dimensions once in space, enabling the large systems necessary to advance space science and ...
