We propose a retractable deployable boom based on self-deployable connected convex boom. A conceptual models were demonstrated to investigate the possibility of deployment and retraction using tethers. As a result, deployability and retractability are confirmed by the demonstration. On the other hand, some unstable properties were observed in the course of deployment and retraction.
