With increased pressure to reduce costs associated with design, fabrication and launch of space structures, there has been a resurgence of interest in membrane structures for extraterrestrial use. Applications for membrane and inflatable structures in space include lunar and planetary habitats, RF reflectors and waveguides, optical and IR imaging, solar concentrators for solar power and propulsion, sun shades, solar sails and many others. 410 0$aProgress in astronautics and aeronautics ;$vv. 191. 606 $aExpandable space structures 606 $aSpace vehicles$xMaterials 606 $aMembranes (Technology) 615 0$aExpandable space structures. 615 0$aSpace vehicles$xMaterials. 615 0$aMembranes (Technology) 676 $a629.1 s 676 $a629.47 701 $aJenkins$b C.
