MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511124481 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab4, on Dec. 10, 2025, for 'origami-deployable atmospheric solar heat shield - x class (odash-x).'
Inventor(s) include Ayush Aryan; Pratik Banerjee; and Parul Sood.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses the Origami-Based Dynamic Atmospheric Shielding Hexa-Structure (ODASH-X), a satellite-deployable system designed to reduce excessive solar heat and ultraviolet (UV) radiation over metropolitan regions. The system comprises a hexagonal reflective shield constructed from lightweight multilayer materials and folded using an origami tessellation for compact launch and large-area orbital deployment. Shape-memory alloy actuators and micro-motors autonomously unfold the shield, while an attitude and orbit control system maintains precise alignment between the Sun and the target city. An integrated AI module predicts heat-intensity and UV conditions and adjusts shield orientation to deliver targeted, reversible solar radiation mitigation. Additional features include structural-health monitoring, inter-satellite coordination, and encrypted ground communication. ODASH-X offers a scalable, non-intrusive, and adaptive approach to urban climate resilience by providing controlled shading during periods of extreme thermal stress."
