Method and apparatus for controlling a shape of a composite structure. A shape memory structure associated with the composite structure is activated. The shape memory structure changes from a buckled shape to an original shape and causes the composite structure to change from an undeployed shape to a deployed shape. The shape memory structure is deactivated. The shape memory structure changes from the original shape to the buckled shape in response to a load from the composite structure and causes the composite structure to change from the deployed shape to the undeployed shape.
