Compact telescoping roll extends 24 times its length. Roll telescopes into extended truss member when force is applied. Truss members deployed by various means. Truss member initially constructed in its stowed state with appropriate sheet material rolled around central core. For deployment truss extends by centrifugal force to form cone. With both ends fastened to prevent unrolling, rigid truss member formed.
