The Retractable-Rollable Mast Array (R-ROMA) is a tensioned blanket array based on double z-folding panels. The array first expands z-folded arms to reveal up to eight blanket assemblies (strips). In a second step, the central Trussed-CTM column deploys to raise each blanket. Due to its double z-fold architecture and compatibility with all cell types, the R-ROMA array achieves the highest performance for both power density and total power. R-ROMA is also retractable making it ideal for solar electric propulsion missions.
