* '''Coilable Mast:''' This an important mechanism for deployment of structures such as antennas. The mast is flexible in nature and coiled on a reel to reduce the dimension during launch.

* '''Lazy Tongs:''' The actual definition for this being scissor-like extendable structure used to reach things at a distance. These type of structures are employed when space constraints are imposed on one dimension of structures.

* '''Telescopic:''' This mechanism uses compression of a long structure into smaller structure by sliding one part into another.

* '''Foldable Mast:''' The structure of the mast is broken into smaller parts of the shape of a triangle and connected with the help of plastic flexible hinges to stiffen the folded structure once deployed.
