The Volume-Efficient Miura-ori method was developed as framework for ultra-compact deployable reflectarray antennas for CubeSats. The method modifies the Miura-ori pattern by introducing degree-6 vertices at the minor ends. This results in parallelogram unit cells through the body of the array, and three-quarter and quarter cells at the minor ends of the array. For thickness accommodation, the offset-panel hinge-shift technique is applied to the unit cells and the hinge-shift technique to the three-quarter and quarter cells (see link below). A similar design with electromagnetic simulations can be found [here](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9886378). This particular design is a 5-by-3 VEMO with a structural thickness of 6.4 mm (just over 1/4 in) and accommodates for 0.15mm-thick membrane hinges.
