In the frame of the R & D program COMED sponsored by the Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V. (DLR) a flexible solar generator consisting of a stowage, deployment and tensioning mechanism and a foldable solar array has been developed by EADS Astrium GmbH. For the growing constellation satellite market a low volume, low cost, easy to manufacture and assembly solar generator should be developed. An engineering model was manufactured and mechanically tested. This paper describes the design of the flexible solar generator, the results of the accompanying mechanical analyses, the results of the tests and the lessons learned.
