Collapsible boom is deployed in controlled fashion, yet has no electric or commandable elements. In effect, structure consists of many fiberglass "springs" forcibly coiled during initial stowage in canister. Consiberable amount of energy stored in structure is released during deployment. Boom consists of erect base, uncoiling transition zone, and still-coiled zones. Boom members form lattice structure shear-stiffened by diagonal elements when erected.
