HELIOS deployment sequence.<br />
After detumble, acquisition and orientation to the sun, blade reels are released via a burn wire.<br />
Deployment is actuated by springs.<br />
Tensioned cables connect the deployed truss to the central spacecraft bus.<br />
Once the blade truss is deployed magnetic coils are used to spin up the core spacecraft to the nominal pre-blade deployment spin rate.<br />
After a systems checkout, a synchronized, controlled blade deployment is intiated.<br />
The blade camera mast is deployed at an intermediate blade deployment radius, and blade pitch<br />
control is activated to manage overall spin rate via solar radiation pressure induced torque.</div>THESABERLION
