The development, design, and qualification of a telescopic tubular deployable/retrievable boom rated to shuttle requirements for the tethered satellite mission are reviewed. The mechanism includes jettisoning provision and deployable harness for the supported payloads connection. Applications to other payloads and comparisons with other designs are discussed.
