Technical Research on ISS Russian Segment
Experiment Perspektiva-KM
Objective:
Development of transformable space structure with an active control system.
Used science hardware:
Thermally insulated container (TIC);
Transformable structure (TS);
Mechanical adapter (MA);
Self-contained power supply (SPS);
Transceiver (T).
Description of the experiment:
Deployment of modular structure on external surface and securing its final shape along with its videorecording.
Obtaining information about transformations in polymeric composite materials (PCM) during transformation and exposure.
Scientific information is downlinked to Earth via OMTS.
Experiment results:
Testing the procedure to deploy and secure shape of space structures with shape memory holding effect and remote control of material and structural member behavior by built-in sensors and elements of micro- and nanosystem equipment of different functional purpose.
