LGarde, also L'Garde or L·Garde, is an American aerospace and defense technology company founded in 1971 in Orange County, CA and is the primary contractor for the Sunjammer spacecraft, the world largest solar sail.The company was an early pioneer of thin-skinned, multi-task inflatable structures used in various military and space applications. At the height of the Cold War, L·Garde developed and manufactured inflatable targets and decoy systems for U.S. military defense, and countermeasure systems for the Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars). After the Cold-War, the company used the technologies and manufacturing techniques it had developed to land a contract to design and build the inflatable antenna experiment and other thin-film inflatable space structures using its unique applicat

Després de la Guerra Freda, la companyia va utilitzar les tecnologies i tècniques de fabricació que havia desenvolupat per obtenir un contracte per dissenyar i construir l' i altres estructures espacials inflables de pel·lícula prima utilitzant la seva única aplicació de tecnologia de tubs rígids.El nom inusual de la companyia és un acrònim format per les inicials dels socis fundadors: Bill Larkin, Gayle Bilyeu, Alan Hirasuna, Rich Walstrom, Don Davis. La "E" prové del terme llatí "et al" (i altres) com a consell a altres socis i empleats originals de l'empresa. (ca)

The "E" comes from the Latin term "et al" (and others) as a tip to other partners and original employees of the company. (en)
