| Description | There are 12 blades in the Heliogyro design, and each blade is envisioned to be 8 meters in width and 7,500 meters in length. The blades are expected to be composed primarily of a thin membrane constructed of material such as Kapton film with an aluminum reflective coating on one side and an infrared emissive coating on the other. The present Phase 2 Final Report covers work done on the following six topics: (1) Design and analysis of a stowable circular lattice batten for the Heliogyro blade. (2) Design and analysis of a biaxially tensioned blade panel. (3) Definition of a research program for micrometeoroid damage to tendons. (4) A conceptual design for a flight test model of the Heliogyro. (5) Definition of modifications to the NASTRAN computer program required to provide improved analysis of the Heliogyro. (6) A User's Manual covering applications of NASTRAN to the Heliogyro. |
