The invention relates to the technical field of aviation and aims to provide a torsion spring driven moonlet borne expandable plane structure and a mounting method thereof. The torsion spring driven moonlet borne expandable plane structure comprises equilateral triangle unfolding units, wherein each equilateral triangle unfolding unit comprises a thin-walled rod member, a node, a connector, a torsion spring and a pin shaft; adjacent equilateral triangle unfolding units are spliced by using different nodes. The mounting method comprises the following steps of mounting effective load, connecting the thin-walled rod members with the connectors, connecting the thin-walled rod members with six-directional nodes, three-directional nodes, four-directional nodes, and center nodes, mounting two-directional nodes, welding a lead, connecting the moonlet borne expandable plane structure with a moonlet, and connecting a lead. The expandable plane structure is unfolded by the torsion springs at joints of the expandable plane structure and can be quickly switched into an unfolding state from a folding state, so that the expandable plane structure is simple in operation and high in expansion reliability.
