TECHNICAL ABSTRACT (LIMIT 200 WORDS)
Composite Technology Development, Inc. (CTD) proposes to address NASA needs for high power, active thermal control, and high bandwidth communications capabilities by expanding a current rollout, passively deployed array technology into a modular, deployable support structure that is scalable and adaptable in size, and can be used to deploy and support many different types of functional systems. Work in Phase 1 will demonstrate the feasibility of expanding the current approach to a broad range of functions, focusing on adapting and tailoring the concept to meet the specific needs of NASA's adaptable and reconfigurable intelligent modular systems.

POTENTIAL NASA COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS (LIMIT 150 WORDS)
The proposed technology will have application to a broad range of system for increased and improved infrastructure for terrestrial applications, and on orbit, in space and on planetary surfaces, through an adaptable, modular, and intelligent deployable structure.

POTENTIAL NON-NASA COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS (LIMIT 150 WORDS)
Commercial spacecraft and satellites, as well as aircraft and terrestrial structures, could benefit from the technologies proposed herein.

NASA's technology taxonomy has been developed by the SBIR-STTR program to disseminate awareness of proposed and awarded R/R&D in the agency. It is a listing of over 100 technologies, sorted into broad categories, of interest to NASA.
