| | Abstract: | Micro- and nanotechnology (MNT) is a rapidly advancing field of research with applications to benefit nearly all facets of society. The students have surveyed the existing space applications of MNT, and from these applications three concept designs have evolved that include a MNT demonstrator, MNT applications to space suit design, and a MNT-based atmospheric probe for exploration. Within the context of the space industry and the concept designs, the economic variables, as well as social, ethical, and legal parameters of implementing such technology have been analyzed. Finally, a strategy is delineated for MNT development in the space sector. | | Host institution : | International Space University, Strasbourg | | Host country : | France | | ISU program : | Space Studies Program | | Record link: | http://isulibrary.isunet.edu/opac/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=6509 |
