A new concept of an in-orbit deployable re-entry vehicle is presented. The vehicle has a deployable capsule shell which can be extended in orbit to deploy solar paddles, radiator and manipulator arm. This new vehicle will be used as logistic support vehicle for space platforms and space experiments. ( PAT. pending )
