Wikipedia definition
2. Miura fold​The Miura fold is a rigid fold that has been used to simulate large solar panel arrays for space satellites in the Japanese 1995 Space Flight Unit. It was invented by Japanese astrophysicist Koryo Miura. It is an example of the practical importance of rigid origami, or treating hinges and rigid surfaces like the paper and creases in paper folding problems. A folded Miura fold can be packed into a very compact area, its thickness restricted only by the thickness of the folded material.
