An extensible boom is made of a fiber-reinforced composite material. When the extended extensible boom is deployed, in a first area, directions of fiber are a first low-angle direction forming a negative angle to a clockwise direction with respect to an extending direction (A) and a second low-angle direction forming a positive angle to the clockwise direction with respect to the extending direction (A). In a second area, directions of fiber are a first high-angle direction forming a negative angle to a clockwise direction with respect to the extending direction (A) and a second high-angle direction forming a positive angle to the clockwise direction with respect to the extending direction (A). The first low-angle direction is closer to the extending direction (A) than the first high-angle direction, and the second low-angle direction is closer to the extending direction (A) than the second high-angle direction.
