Abstract: This lecture will present a new architecture for ultralight, modular and scalable space systems to power the earth continuously with a constellation of orbiting spacecraft.

The basic module is a large coilable structure that elastically deploys after launch into orbit. It is made of paper-thin materials of high stiffness and was inspired by kirigami, the Japanese art of folding and cutting paper.
