session 2

Title

Space Structures II Development and Verification (Orbital deployable and dimensionally stable structures, including mechanical and robotic systems and subsystems)

type

oral

Description

The topics to be addressed within this session concern all aspects of deployable and dimensionally stable structures e.g. reflectors, telescopes, antennas etc. It includes structural design, analysis and verification, shape control and thermal distortion as well as evaluation of analysis versus test results, of both on-ground and in-orbit testing. Furthermore, related mechanical, thermal and robotic systems and subsystems/mechanisms will be covered.
