PART B_2

The State-of-the-Art Origami Engineering

Paper ships, planes, or cranes come to mind when we hear the word “origami.” Few people, however, associate it with space science, yet origami has been gaining international attention in that field.

It was made possible by Dr. Miura Koryo’s invention in the 1970s. While studying the structural strength of rockets, he tried to find a way to make the objects strong but light. Finally, he came up with a special folding pattern that makes folding and unfolding stable. This pattern became known as “Miura-Ori.”

Dr. Miura applied the folding pattern to the solar panels for the Space Flyer Unit (SFU) that are used for unmanned experiments in space. The solar panels needed as much surface area as possible to maximize the energy they got from the sun. At the same time, they must be packed down to the smallest size possible to fit in the SFU. Additionally, the panels could be reused. All were made possible by Miura-Ori.

In 1995, the SFU was launched on the H-II rocket. The experiment was a success, and the solar panels were folded back into the SFU. The Space Shuttle Endeavor retrieved and brought the SFU back to the Earth. It is on display at the National Museum of Nature and Science in Ueno, Tokyo.
