| Description: | This paper presents different deployment methods (sail storage + deployment) for small sails less than one square-meter, also exploring new ideas for their storage and sails. Different solutions, such as using centrifugal forces, origami or such patterns observed in nature, or the use of shape memory alloys are examined as well as downsizing attempts of current mechanical methods. |
