Microcells for metastructures: An application of MicroSystem technology to distributed space structures

In this thesis, a new concept of space systems called metastructures is studied. Applications are in very large space structures (1 km) that can take many shapes and be reconfigured during operations. This concept is explored by defining it from a systems engineering perspective, characterising the...
