Abstract
Bottom-up thermal-mechanical design and analysis of a deployable baffle, which serves as a deployable thermal control system for the Deployable Space Telescope. Research being conducted on how to create a stable thermal environment for the mirror support structures so that in-orbit thermo-elastic drift budgets will be met, as well as designing and analysing a feasible deployment system.
