| Description | NASA is pursuing the development of large ultra-lightweight structures, commonly referred to as gossamer space structures. These structures have large areas and small areal densities, which complicates ground testing significantly as the ground operations interfaces and gravity loading can become cumbersome. Laser vibrometry has proven to be a critical sensing technology for validating the structural characteristics of these gossamer structures, due to its precision, range, and non-contacting nature. |
