Hi
My name is sébastien Cornez.
I'studying ingeneering at the University of Liège in Belgium. I'm in my last year in aerospatial. I look for informations, contacts and weblinks about motors for the deployment of solar pannels in space.
If you have information can you send it to me at seb_cornez_gp@hotmail.com

With my deep respect
Sebastien Cornez

Hi Sebastien;
Please clarify. Do you mean information on ones in current use, or are you looking to design something new? I can't help with the former.
