Rigid articulated batten integrated truss devices, systems, and methods

A system comprising:

• a plurality of frames configured to support a plurality of elements;
• a plurality of longerons;
• a plurality of diagonals coupled with the plurality of longerons;
• and
• a plurality of battens, wherein one or more battens from the plurality of battens are coupled with at least one or more longerons from the plurality of longerons and one or more frames from the plurality of frames such that the respective batten is offset with respect to at least a hinge point between the respective longeron and another longeron from the plurality of longerons at least along a length of the respective longeron or the respective batten is offset with respect to at least a hinge point between the respective frame and another frame from the plurality of frames along a length of the respective frame;
• wherein one or more of the battens from the plurality of battens are buckled at least at the end of deployment of the system, wherein each of the one or more battens from the plurality of battens comprises a bowed configuration when buckled that facilitates exertion of one or more forces to provide tension to one or more diagonals from the plurality of diagonals.

• wherein the plurality of frames are coupled with each other to form a Z-fold configuration in a stowed state;
• wherein the plurality of frames are coupled with each other utilizing one or more hinges;
• and
• wherein at least one of the one or more hinges includes a first hinge axis that rotates around a pivot point that is offset neighboring to an outer face of a first frame of the plurality of frames and an outer face of a second frame of the plurality of frames and a second hinge axis that rotates the first hinge axis away from the outer face of the first frame and the outer face of the second frame as the first frame and the second frame deploy.
