Abstract
The core goal of TWIST is to demonstrate that a multifunctional thin-film
deployable small satellite subsystem can be stowed in the same volume as a traditional nanosatellite solar array, yet achieve 2-32x increase in like
for like available surface area when deployed, enabling novel space
applications hitherto impossible or non-viable due to power, communications or orbit constraints.
