Modeling the Thermal Behavior of Photopolymers for In-Space Fabrication
Jonathan Ericson, Daniel Widerker, Eytan Stibbe +15
Future long-duration space missions will require in-situ, on-demand manufacturing of tools and components. Photopolymer-based processes are attractive for this purpose due to their…
In-space manufacturing of optical lenses: Fluidic Shaping aboard the International Space Station
Omer Luria, Mor Elgarisi, Eytan Stibbe +12
In-space manufacturing technologies are vital for enabling advanced space missions and addressing logistical limitations of space exploration. While additive manufacturing has prog…
Optical Design Pathways to Fluidic Space-Assembled Reflectors & Dual-Configuration Spectrographs for Characterizing Exo-Earths
Enrico Biancalani, Edward Balaban, Ruslan Belikov +14
| We present a conceptual framework for optically designing space-assembled telescopes whose primary mirror is formed via the enabl…
Fluid dynamics of a liquid mirror space telescope
Israel Gabay, Omer Luria, Edward Balaban +2
Large aperture telescopes are pivotal for exploring the universe, yet even with state-of-the-art manufacturing and launch technology, their size is limited to several meters. As we…
Gating and tunable confinement of active colloids within patterned environments
Carolina van Baalen, Stefania Ketzetzi, Anushka Tintor +1
Active colloidal particles typically exhibit a pronounced affinity for accumulating and being captured at boundaries. Here, we engineer long-range repulsive interactions between co…
Fluidic Shaping and in-situ Measurement of Liquid Lenses in Microgravity
Omer Luria, Mor Elgarisi, Valeri Frumkin +9
In the absence of gravity, surface tension dominates over the behavior of liquids. While this often poses a challenge in adapting Earth-based technologies to space, it can also pro…
Dynamic control of high-voltage actuator arrays by light-pattern projection on photoconductive switches
Vesna Bacheva, Amir Firouzeh, Edouard Leroy +7
The ability to control high-voltage actuator arrays relies, to date, on expensive microelectronic processes or on individual wiring of each actuator to a single off-chip high-volta…
Dynamics of fixed-volume pinned film -- dealing with a non-self-adjoint thin film problem
Israel Gabay, Vesna Bacheva, Dotan Ilssar +3
The use of thin liquid films has expanded beyond lubrication and coatings, and into applications in actuators and adaptive optical elements. In contrast to their predecessors, whos…
Shaping liquid films by dielectrophoresis
Israel Gabay, Federico Paratore, Evgeniy Boyko +3
We present a theoretical model and experimental demonstration of thin liquid film deformations due to a dielectric force distribution established by surface electrodes. We model th…
