Abstract
Smart materials and actuators for in-orbit jitter and shape control for precision instruments are discussed together with effects of very low temperatures and eventual nonlinearities. Simulation and lab model demonstration results together with different types of actuators are given for solar array and precision optical bank active vibration attenuation as well as for reflector shape control. The latter calls for circumferentially and radially arranged actuators.
