| Customer: ESA/ESTEC and Kayser-Italia (2005 – 2007) |  | Very large space structures need to be actively controlled during deployment, during maneuvers or during changing thermal environment. One possibility might be via Electro Active Polymers, which are metallized, silicone based thin sheets, which expand up to 10% once they are set under voltage. |
