| Description | The requirements, the design, and the test program which were carried out in producing the Space Telescope Solar Array (STSA) primary deployment mechanisms (PDM) are described. The PDM will be used to rotate the rolled solar array supporting boom from its launch position alongside the telescope housing, through 90 deg to its use position. After five years in space the array is to be rerolled and by use of the PDM swung back to its stowed position alongside the telescope housing for capture and return to Earth via the Space Shuttle. |
