Wavefront Control Strategies for Large Active Thin Shell Primaries with Unimorph Actuators

This paper presents various aspects of the wavefront control strategies for an ultra-lightweight composite reflector made of polymers for the large primary of a space telescope, and the shape control is made by a set of patterned unimorph strain actuators attached to the reflector. It starts with an...
