High Precision Thermal Morphing of the Smart Anisogrid Structure for Space-Based Applications

To meet the requirements for the next generation of space missions, a paradigm shift is required from current structures that are static, heavy and stiff, to innovative structures that are adaptive, lightweight, versatile, and intelligent. This work proposes the use of a novel morphing structure, th...
