ISAS/JAXA is studying a deployment method using centrifugal force for solar sail mission. In this paper, the clover type sail is investigated. The deployment sequence consists of two stages. In order to establish the analytical model of sail deployment, two kinds of experiments using a spinning table and an S-310 sounding rocket are conducted. In these experiments, the clover type sails of 2.5 m and 10 m diameters are deployed dynamically. These motions coincide with the motions by the numerical simulations using multiparticle model. On the other hand, the larger sail is supposed to be deployed statically as for actual spacecraft. It is scheduled to deploy the sail of 20 m diameter using a high altitude balloon. The mechanisms for first and second stage deployments are introduced and the results of numerical simulation using multiparticle model are shown.
