Customer ServiceMiura intended this fold for solar arrays, and in 1995 a solar panel with this design was unfolded on the Space Flyer Unit, a Japanese satellite. Despite this test, the technology is still in its early stages. But now, with an emphasis on small satellites and large structures, Trease says arrays inspired by this fold could see renewed usefulness.

NASA engineer Brian Trease holds the prototype of the origami-inspired solar panel arrays. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech) Some scientists think that one day solar panels could be sent into space to create orbiting power plants. The panels would soak up sun and beam back solar energy to Earth in the form of microwaves.

Put two sticks in side with 1 cm in between and fold the aluminium round the sticks. To attach the solar panels, put a stick through the panel and the toilet roll. Cut two strips of white paper of 1,25 cm wide and 12,5 cm long. Fold the strips in half over the top of the stick and secure the ends with tape. The radiators should point downward.
The origami technique the team used for the prototype allows the panel to open and close with a single push or pull on the corner. Koryo Miura, the astrophysicist who the Miura origami fold is named for, first worked on solar panels with origami designs in 1995.
