Micro-mirror Arrays for Maskless Lithography
This paper presents a design approach for fabricating an array of MEMS mirrors suitable for maskless lithography applications in a commercial CMOS process. A small footprint mirror design is presented which uses a pair of support beams for signal routing and diagonal gap-closing actuators for mirror deflection. The actuators are shown to be capable of delivering up to 10nN of force per micron o...
متن کامل1 Earth Observation – Space Technology
For monitoring of the Earth thousands of satellites have been sent into space on missions to collect data related different spheres of the Earth investigations and studies. Today, the ability to forecast weather, climate, and natural hazards, environmental monitoring and ecological issues depend critically on these satellite-based observations. Based on this data it is possible to gather satell...
متن کاملA Feasibility Study of Micro-Satellites for Earth Observation
There is a continuing desire to minimize the fabrication, launch, and operational costs of Earth-observing satellites, while still maintaining their high-resolution capabilities. Micro-satellites have been suggested as a method for obtaining these results using several different configurations; such as conventional filled aperture optics, distributed aperture systems, constellations and tethers...
متن کاملLarge Focal Plane Arrays for Future Missions
A 3x3 raft of modular detector assemblies Large Focal Plane Arrays for Future Missions Scowen, Nikzad et al. Abstract We outline the challenges associated with the development and construction of large focal plane arrays for use both on the ground and in space. Using lessons learned from existing JPL-led and ASU/JPL partnership efforts to develop technology for, and design such arrays and image...
متن کاملSynthetic Aperture Lidar as a Future Tool for Earth Observation
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a tool of prime importance for Earth observation; it provides day and night capabilities in various weather conditions. State-of-the-art satellite SAR systems are a few meters in height and width and achieve resolutions of less than 1 m with revisit times on the order of days. Today’s Earth observation needs demand higher resolution imaging together with timeli...
