Line 6:
Space-based deployable structures can be categorized into three primary classes: the first is the articulated structure class wherein rigid members contain sliding contact joints or are folded at hinge points and pivot to deploy, often locking into place. The second class consists of on-orbit assembly where a device is fabricated and/or mechanically joined in space to form the structure. The final class is high strain structures (often composed of [[High_strain_composite_structure|High strain composites]]) wherein the device is dramatically flexed from one configuration to another during deployment.
