Ion-exchange polymer membrane metallic composites (IPMC) are one of the electroactive polymers (EAP) that were shown to have potential application as actuators.
Efficient actuators that are lightweight, high performance and compact are needed to support telerobotic requirements for future NASA missions.
Ion-exchange membrane metallic composites (IPMC), which were the first reported in 1992, are one of the electroactive materials (EAP) with potential applications as artificial muscle actuators.
In recent years, electroactive polymers (EAP) materials have gained recognition as potential actuators with unique capabilities having the closest performance resemblance to biological muscles.
Actuators are responsible to the operative capability of manipulation systems and robots. In recent years, electroactive polymers (EAP) have emerged as potential alternative to conventional actuators.
NASA is seeking to reduce the mass, size, consumed power, and cost of the instrumentation use in its future missions.
Miniature, lightweight, miser actuators that operate similar to biological muscles can be used to develop robotic devices with unmatched capabilities to impact many technology areas.
A CW Ti:Al2O3 ring laser, pumped by a diode-pumped, doubled, Nd laser, has been demonstrated for the first time. Tunable, single-frequency operation is reported.
A tethered satellite flight program to test theoretical studies of tether concepts is proposed. The program consists of multiple flights of an ELV such as the Delta II, using the Small Expendable Deployment System (SEDS) to deploy two instrumented satellite payloads, the Tethered Dynamics Explorer (TDE) and the Tethered Atmospheric Probe (TAP). The applications and characteristics of the TDE and the TAP are described, including verification of the SEDS, the validation of the dynamics and control model for low-tension deployment and the force and moment instrumentation, the demonstration of tether initiated reentry, the collection of in-situ atmospheric and aerothermodynamic data, and the study of long-term tether exposure.
