Development of Electrodes for an Electrostatically Actuated Mesh Reflector

In-space manufacturing (ISM) of large structures with distributed actuators can enable radio frequency (RF) reflectors with previously inaccessible combinations of size and surface precision. A candidate approach for distributed actuation in large space structures is macroscale electrostatic actuati...
