A system for a satellite, the system comprising a carrier panel and a tensioning device, the tensioning device being switchable from a holding state, in which it holds the carrier panel in a transportation pose, to a release state, in which it permits movement of the carrier panel from the transportation pose into a working pose, wherein the system is configured such that the carrier panel is elastically deformed in the transportation pose and, after switching the tensioning device into the release state, a restoring force based on the elastic deformation of the carrier panel contributes to the movement of the carrier panel from the transportation pose into the working pose,
- wherein the tensioning device is configured to, in the holding state, exercise a holding force on a first region of the carrier panel, and wherein the system further comprises a support device that is configured to guide a support force opposite to the holding force onto a second region of the carrier panel in the transportation pose of the carrier panel, wherein the holding force and the support force contribute to the elastic deformation of the carrier panel and/or cause the elastic deformation of the carrier panel.
