Measuring Plane Profile of Space Structures by Grating-Projection Method

Ken HIGUCHI

Deployable space structures that can be stowed efficiently and lightweight are required. During development, it is important to predict their deployment behavior in orbit and post-deployment quantitative measurement. One effective method to fulfill these requirements is the grating-projection method. This article outlines the research and development status of this method, with its various merits such as short time measurement, by showing actual application examples.
