Experimental Design Validation of Tilting Calibration Mechanism by Using Shape Memory Alloy Spring Actuator by Hyun-Ung Oh, Myeong-Jae Lee, Taegyu Kim

“…A tilting calibration mechanism is periodically deployed to view the reference temperature target during on-board calibration of a spaceborne imaging sensor and stowed after calibration. In the present work, we have proposed a new design strategy using a shape memory alloy (SMA) spring as an actuator that provides a fail-safe function to prevent the blocking of the main optical path when the mechanical driving part of the mechanism is stopped at a certain position during on-board calibration. …”
