Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for extendible membranes, such as solar arrays. Some embodiments include an extendible membrane system that may include: an extendible central column; one or more membranes; and/or one or more foldable membrane supports configured to support the one or more membranes. Each of the one or more foldable membrane supports may be configured to extend from the extendible central column. In some embodiments, one or more of the one or more foldable membrane supports includes two or more segments that may be configured to couple with each other. Some embodiments include a method of deploying one or more membranes that may include unfolding one or more foldable membrane supports from a folded configuration to a linear configuration. Some embodiments include an extendible membrane device with one or more membranes and one or more foldable membrane supports configured to support the one or more membranes.
