Structural scalability of large surface structures in space

Gunnar Tibert kommer den 10e november att hålla en online föreläsning med titeln ''Structural scalability of large surface structures in space'' . Föreläsningen kommer vara under 45 minuter, där du även får möjlighet och ställa frågor direkt till Gunnar.

Abstract

Very large surface space structures have for a long time been proposed for solar sailing and space power. In recent years, large space shades have been proposed as a means to mitigate climate changes. This presentation will highlight in more detail the key structural requirements that makes the realization of very large surface structures so challenging. An example of the structural scalability of the traditional four-boom solar sail design will be shown.
