Some ways are suggested in which light weight structures can be built from very thin gage superalloy and refractory metal materials and from nonmetallic materials which are folded for launching, expanded in space, and rigidized; fabrication of honeycomb panels from .001-in. thick molybdenum is currently in process of being developed.
