Abstract
A deployable assembly comprises a supporting structure, a set of panels, each being linked to the adjacent panel by a hinge defining an intermediate axis of rotation, capable of switching from a stowed configuration in which the panels are folded one on top of the other to a deployed configuration, by rotation of the panels about the respective intermediate axes of rotation, wherein the panels are arranged substantially in the same plane, an articulation device defining a main axis of rotation of the set of panels relative to the supporting structure. The set of panels is rotationally mobile about the intermediate axes of rotation and the main axis of rotation to switch from the stowed configuration to the deployed configuration and the set of panels is only rotationally mobile about the main axis of rotation in deployed configuration to orient the set of panels relative to the supporting structure.
