Description:
|
Dr. Hartl and Dr. Skelton are inviting students to participate in a research project (AERO 491) in collaboration with Boeing, NASA and other companies. As part of the undergraduate design challenge by the Consortium for the Advancement of Shape Memory Alloy Research and Technology (CASMART), undergraduate students will design a deployable, expandable, space habitat. The habitat will utilize origami structures, tensegrity concepts and shape memory alloy actuators. |
