NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Phase I AwardAmount: $125,000 Flat Fabrication of Progressively Self-Assembling Space Systems Davide GuzzettiAuburn University This project aims to study the feasibility of integrating an array of microchips with space satellite functions, or ChipSats, on a multifunctional shape memory polymer (SMP) bus that is capable of self-folding when exposed to solar radiation. This technology may enable the flat fabrication of kilometer-sized antenna arrays for radio astronomy […]
