AB  - This paper presents a novel deployable reflector concept based on the origami flasher pattern. The proposed folding architecture achieves rigid foldability for flasher patterns applied to doubly curved surfaces, allowing parabolic reflectors to be divided into a number of rigid panels for efficient stowage. Such an architecture provides an intermediate solution between current rigid-surface and flexible-surface reflectors, offering both surface precision and stowage compactness. The proposed patterns have a positive-finite degree of mobility, and so reliable and deterministic deployment is realized through suitable actuation. A Bayesian optimization approach is used in conjunction with kinematics and collision models in order to find optimal stowage patterns that accommodate finite thickness panels and supporting structures. For the generated optimal patterns, panel split line geometries are designed analytically to eliminate gaps while avoiding collision at panel edges during folding.
