Experimental Analysis""Written by many experts in the field, this book brings together, in one place, the state of the art of membrane and inflatable structure technology for space applications. With increased pressure to reduce costs associated with design, fabrication and launch of space structures, there has been a resurgence of interest in membrane structures for extraterrestrial use. Applications for membrane and inflatable structures in space include lunar and planetary habitats, RF reflectors and waveguides, optical and IR imaging, solar concentrators for solar power and propulsion, sun shades, solar sails and many others.Progress in astronautics and aeronautics ;v. 191.Expandable space structuresSpace vehiclesMaterialsMembranes (Technology)Expandable space structures.Space vehiclesMaterials.Membranes (Technology)629.1 s629.47Jenkins C.
