SubscribeILC is developing inflatable gossamer structures for use in numerous applications for satellite and planetary applications.
This class of space inflatable structures ranges from human-rated habitat structures to ultra-lightweight gossamer structures such as solar sails. Space inflatable structures generally are deployed via inflation and become rigid once deployed to eliminate the reliance on the inflation gas to maintain geometry and structural stiffness over the life of the component.
Rigidizable composite materials and deployment control mechanisms are technologies developed by ILC that make the use of space inflatable structures accurate and reliable.
