Abstract
A deployment system for spatial appendages, such as, for example, solar generators, comprises at least one two-phase deployment articulation line, furnished with two rotation spindles. The deployment system comprises a synchronization mechanism for the two rotation spindles so that when the driving spindle rotates during a first deployment phase, the driven spindle does not rotate, and then, when the driving spindle rotates during the second deployment phase, the driven spindle rotates in a manner synchronized with the driving spindle.
