The paper investigates three critical areas in cable-driven rigid-panel solar arrays: First, the variation of deployment and retraction cable tensions due to friction at the hinges; Second, the change in deployment dynamics associated with different deployment histories; Third, the relationship between the level of pre-tension in the closed contact loops and the synchronization of deployment. A small scale model array has been made and tested, and its behavior has been compared to numerical simulations.
