The folding structure of the satellite s photovoltaic panels
The Miura fold (ミウラり, Miura-ori) is a method of folding a flat surface such as a sheet of paper into a smaller area. The fold is named for its inventor, Japanese astrophysicist .Theof the Miura fold form aof the surface by . In one direction, the creases lie along straight lines, with each parallelogram forming theof its neighbor across each crease. In the other direction, the creases zigzag, and each parallel. The structure can unfold to increase its surface area by ten times in just 40 seconds without any power source; instead, it uses a polymer that moves in response to temperature changes.

The membrane is made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units, called tiles, which have PV cells embedded on one side and a microwave transmitter on the other.
