PROGRAM ROE (REFLECTOR ORBITAL EXPERIMENT). PART III. PRELIMINARY DESIGN: INFLATABLE RIGIDIZED SOLAR REFLECTOR CONCEPT. VOLUME I. THE TEN-FOOT-DIAMETER DESIGN,

Abstract

The conceptual design configuration and a preliminary design analysis are presented for a 10-foot-diameter, 60-degree-rim-angle, inflatable, rigidizable concentrator. The design of instrumentation for focal-zone, heat-flux measurement and reflectance degradation detection is described. An estimated weight summary, mass properties and distribution data, and estimated power requirements are presented. (Author)
