Double-layered truss structure compactly packaged and sychronously deployed. Synchronously deployable truss constructed of two surface layers of struts, arranged in triangles, connected by "tripods" of equal-length core struts. Mechanism powered by passive spring and damped by hydraulic-damping cylinder. When released, spring drives slider linked to core and surface struts. Variety of truss geometries, including curved structures, comtemplated.
