NASA Lunar Torch

Thanks NASA & GrabCAD for this interesting challenge:https://grabcad.com/challenges/nasa-challenge-lunar-torch.This Concept is based on an inflatable structure, used as a torch frame, and the silver Mylar sheets because it is cost effective, light, durable, resistant to tearing and puncturing.Highly reflective ,It can retains / reflects back up to 98% of light and reduces hot spots by spreading the light evenly.For this concept I was inspired by:https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/161997906.pdfINNOVATIVE ADVANCED CONCEPTS (NIAC) / TRANSFORMERS FOR EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS (Page 71) Figure 3.22. Inflation test of a pre-prototype reflector.Thanks and good luck everyone !!!
